This pack of aerial refueling tankers and buddy refuelers for the Airshow Assistant toolbar will unlock additional options once installed. Approximately 21 aircraft and 109 liveries (library updated constantly, feel free to share your wishes for the aircraft or liveries).
Available in: FS2020 Marketplace
Price: $9.99
This pack can be used with any of the existing Airshow Assistant versions – full from MSFS2020 Marketplace, light from SimMarket or demo from the website.
All of these aircraft are AI traffic, which means they can not be controlled by the player. You can select them as AAR tankers or wingmen of AI formation by Airshow Assistant interface.
Even if this pack is compatible with FS2024, Airshow Assistant is not available there until Marketplace officially opens, so you can use it in FS2024 only with light or demo versions (PC only). FS2024 update will be free, once purchased in FS2020 it will be available in FS2024 as well.
You need to restart Microsoft Flight Simulator once after this add-on is installed, otherwise refueling tankers will not be available in the Airshow Assistant toolbar. Xbox users need also remove MSFS from Quick Resume list to perform full restart.
