Well, I know what I will be flying tonight! Just wish I could land this sucker on a carrier. We need a REAL FURY.

You could - just add [tailhook] and [launch_assistance] sections. That would get you "virtual" carrier performance, if you chose. I chose not to - a land-based FJ-2 quasi-lookalike is as far as I can suspend disbelief as far as the F-86 goes. I enjoy it as a an advanced trainer/reserve fighter role, which is in fact how the were mostly used. The FJ-2 wasn't aboard carriers very extensively or for very long.

Of course, the canopy, the cannon, the nose gear stance, in addition to the wings/hook/launch lugs are what really sets the Fury FJ-2 apart, and with a deeper fuselage on the FJ-3 - and of course, by the time the FJ-4 came around, the Sabre roots were barely recognizable (reversed main gear retraction, massively redesigned fuselage, etc.).

Still, like yourself, I would love either a -2, 3, or -4. it's one of my top 5 "hope to have in FSX" aircraft, and as such, enjoy the combination noted in the screenshot as a decent stand-in. Grady's paint is just sublime.

Henry, thanks for posting these images! I went to the Library immediately to get the Canadian camo paint and then found more brilliant paints you did for the T-Bird, some I knew of, others I did not see before, great stuff:applause::applause::applause:

And then there's the cockpit..... Completely redesigned compared to that of the F-86E/F... Photo's ??... Forget it. Not even in the book i have about the FJ-2 (AFAIK there even isn't a book specifically about the FJ-2. The book i have is about the FJ-2 and FJ-3. Re the latter some good photo's of the cockpit are available. Also very different to that of the F-86 of course) The only means of having a look at an FJ-2 cockpit is from a DVD i have about the FJ-2. Here's a clip of it :

I also found that, as far as the FJ-3 is concerned, it seems a much better idea to start from scratch to model an FJ-3 rather then adapt a model of the F-86E/F. It's really only the wings that are usuable without severe surgery. Believe me, i've tried... :)

cheers,
