Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder. Simples tsiek!
Notes: The old shadow entry and shd gives the "shadow appearing as a shaft of grey to the ground" problem, however so does the newer method on my system. Swap out the xx in the FJ-3M.ini [shadow] entries to see which one you prefer.

FJ-3M Fury Mod
by column5
First, let me thank Zur for allowing me to mod his excellent F-86. I'd also like to acknowledge DanW who did the original F-86 skin, which I modified for this aircraft.
You do not need the F-86 to use this mod, but if you DON'T have it you should: http://www.simtweak.com.
Soon after the Korean conflict began, the US Navy realized that its current front line fighters, the F9F Panther and F2H Banshee, were no match for the new MiG-15. The Navy wisely contracted North American Aviation to modify the superb F-86 Sabre for naval use, and the result was the FJ-2 Fury (the FJ-1 designation had already been applied to a completely different aircraft). The Fury was developed over the course of the 1950s into the FJ-3, represented here, and ultimately the FJ-4. Unlike the FJ-4, the FJ-3 is externally very similar to the F-86, and is well represented by Zur's F-86 model.
The 'M' in the aircraft's designation represents the ability to carry early Sidewinder AAMs. The FJ-3 is also equipped with four Mk12 20mm canon.
This package includes a skin representing the bright colors of VF-53 Iron Angels circa 1956.
