PeterD,
I'm loath to mention this, but I noticed the plane is missing a pitot tube.
Note right wing tip.

Also, It is not well known, I don't think, in the sim community, but the F-86 Nose landing gear would rotate 90 degrees so the nose wheel went up "flat" into the nose wheelwell, because there was not enough clearance between the top of the gearwell and the bottom of the intake for a "traditional" gear retraction. I have no idea if that can even be modeled in this game. I'll try to hunt down some video or documentation for you on the subject, but I imagine you probably have tons already.
