US country, the outer pylons are too close too each another and one of added pylons (the right one) is away from the wing.
Bugfix files can be found at:

Extract it to the F-86J mod's folder (usually MODS\F_86J in your IL-2 Directory) and overwrite the two existing files when being asked to.

I'll investigate in that soon, currently I guess it should be easy to solve.

However we should consider that the AIM-9B is pretty successful when being launched from within it's engagement envelope. Most of the Vietnam AIM-9 misses were due to the missiles not being launched within it's parameters, whereas the vast majority of the missiles which have been launched within their engagement envelope eventually hit their target.
Two factors will tone down the success rate significantly, one being the lack of Look-Down/Shoot-Down capability, the other being the risk of AIM-9Bs tracking the sunray suddenly. Both limitations will be part of further versions, the targeted pilot can then decide either to turn towards the sun or towards the ground, depending on the current altitude, in order to shake off the missile.
Additionally I'm thinking of implementing some random error rate. Will have to see how this can suit the requirements...

The decision whether conf.ini or enhanced ordnance list suits better will take some more days.
Maybe somebody else can tell his opinion on that, too?
