A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and configuration
Shrike's F-86F-30 represents the Sabre with the six-three wing. The user guide describes an engine-driven normal hydraulic supply and an electric alternate supply for the flight controls. A hat switch provides pitch and roll trim.

History & design
The swept-wing Sabre
The F-86 first flew in October 1947. The first production aircraft followed in May 1948, and an F-86A set a 670.9 mph world speed record later that year.

A day fighter with international service
The A model and later E and F day fighters served in Korea against the MiG-15. Production in the United States and Canada exceeded 5,500 day fighters, and the Sabre went on to equip air forces around the world. Variant identification matters when comparing their engines and controls.

Simulator editions
The product is native to MSFS 2020 and listed as compatible with MSFS 2024.
The F-30 wing and period cockpit
Shrike identifies its aircraft as an F-86F-30 with the six-three wing: extra chord at the root and tip replaced the earlier wing arrangement with leading-edge slats. The guide supplies period-style instruments but adds simulator conveniences in the radios and an optional GPS. Its liveries represent a wider selection of Sabres than the underlying modeled variant. A paint scheme therefore does not change the aircraft into the A, E or other version from which that scheme originated.
