Shrike (Milviz) F-86 Sabre Now Available!

Same here!! Didn't get a changelog though?
Wait a minute. Would like to finally understand this correctly..
Wasn't it like if a model (any model) got 'officially' updated you'd loose any installed thirdparty additions/alterations to that particular model and would have to install those additions again after having installed the official update ? (not sure about MSFS but certainly in FSX/P3D, right ?...)
After having installed this F-86 update i still have the reworked/darker VC and reworked/smaller rivets. I was just wondering, is it like just as long as the official name of a certain model remains valid after an update, MSFS will keep on loading any thirdparty additons to that model as well no matter how many updates will be installed ?...
If that's true (it HAS to be true because otherwise i would be flying my beloved Sabre again with a rusty cockpit and massive rivets, wouldn't i ....? ), that's pretty clever and a whole lot less to worry about, isn't it.

I think that, with the way mods are installed in this sim, that is indeed true, if there are no changes to the texture mapping in the model.

I didn't have any issues with the install, except the fact with the "not a valid serial number BS." Not sure why it does that, but finally it does accept it and installs. I don't understand the omission of an update log either, not why, but rather, why not. If you make changes, let your owners of your release aware of what you're changing. I didn't see one in the update before this, V2, either. I did notice they didn't fix the right gear door texture issue. Maybe Dimus has some intel since he seems to work closely with Shrike.
Did you finally get it to install Fnerg?

Probabely similar to swearing in the church but this is a repaint for the DCS F-86 representing a US Navy FJ-3 Fury of VF-73 Jesters. Might that be something for *our* Galant F-86 Repainters Guild ? :
While the FJ-3 Fury is derived from the F-86 it is just about a completely different animal. That's why the chances of a FJ-3 Fury becoming available for MSFS are as low as seeing a pinguin play tic-tac-toe. Henceforth, if we can live with the absence of the elongated nose gear, different cockpit and canopy system and somewhat bigger air inlet we can have a plethora of interesting and very appealing liveries we'll never get to see on our beautiful native MSFS F-86 otherwise.
Should this suggestion appeal to any repainter, just check the net for FJ-2 or FJ-3 Fury and you'll find a truckload of Fury livery examples to choose from, Like f.i. this :

Okay thanks Priller, I'll take another look.

Looks great Tom, hope you don't mind an observation, I feel the checkers need to be a little larger so the spacing equates to 4 rows from the top downward. Here is a good reference photo - Keep up the fine work!

Thanks Fnerg. All my photos verify your observation. I tried the four row detail with poor success. Back to the drawing board. I know it can be done. I also had trouble with the forward lines. Bringing them back a bit ran into a bunch of distortion. I finally gave up on trying to adjust them where they really should be. Moving forward just a bit came out acceptable. Back later with the checkered adjustment. Thanks again for the suggestion.
