Home Fries Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) This is a series of US Navy and Marine Corps skin packs for the FJ-3/FJ-3M Fury, the navalized variant of the F-86 Sabre (the M version being Sidewinder capable). These skins have been updated to the 1.5.4/2.0.3 standard. With the release of DCS World 1.5.4 and 2.0.3, the decal layer that once covered the entire model has been removed by Belsimtek. As such, organizational specific modex placement as well as modex placement on the wing is no longer possible. The modex (1xx-3xx) is now selected in the Mission Editor rather than by skin selection. For skins that have the BuNo on the tail, the last two digits of the modex are also used for the BuNo (this is not accurate, but just to allow a dynamic number on the tail). Note: this skin pack uses an EXE installer that creates common texture folders and an autoexec.cfg (if you already have one, you can make manual changes). I would like your feedback on this system; if it works I intend to apply it to my other skin packs. If you have a 1.x version of this skin installed, then the installer will remove the old 1.x liveries and obsolete texture folders. Be sure to update any missions that used 1.x series skins. With the release of additional skin packs, this thread is now a global information thread with links in the original post.

Home Fries Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) VF-142 Fighting Falcons Fighter Squadron 142 (the Fighting Falcons, not to be confused with the VF-142 Ghostriders that was designated in 1963) flew the FJ-3M Fury for a short time (1956-1958), including a deployment on the USS Hornet (CVA-12) as part of Carrier Air Group 14 (CVG-14) before returning to NAS Miramar and transitioning to the F8L1-1 Crusader. This skin pack features skins from the 1957 Hornet deployment (CVG-14 Tailcode A) and the return to Miramar (1958) prior to transitioning to the Crusader. The 1958 skin displays the CVG-14 Tailcode NK, which replaced A once the US Navy went to 2 letter tailcodes. Screenshots (note the different side numbers): And some custom pilot details: VF-142 is updated to version 1.1 (May 28, 2015) Change Log: Applied bare metal to leading edges and adjusted tail graphic and SPEC files to match Updated 1957 tail to purple instead of black Changed intake color from Insignia white to bare metal Edited June 30, 2015 by Home Fries -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Fries Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) VF-73 Jesters skin pack is released! Fighter Squadron 73 flew the FJ-3 Fury from 1956 until its decommissioning in 1958. Originally part of Carrier Air Group 7 (CVG-7, Tailcode L), VF-73 was transferred to CVG-4 (Tailcode AD) for its 1957 deployment on the USS Randolph (CVA-15). This skin pack features skins from CVG-7 and the 1957 Randolph deployment with CVG-4.

AG-51_Razor Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Beautiful skins Home Fries! Any chance of an early to mid-50's scheme in the all blue paint? Kind of a 'what if' Korean War paint scheme? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks, Razor. I hadn't thought of it, and if I do it will be on the back burner (I haven't even done the Marine skins I have planned), but I'll consider it. If you have any specific requests and resources, I'm all ears. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
