16 feedbacks on Airshow! Aerial Refueling DLC was just released
Hello.
I have been using Airshow Assistant for a while in 2020 and 2024 with no issues, so thank you for this amazing addon.
On the marketplace page for the Aerial Refuelling DLC Pack, it mentions that there are United Kingdom liveries, among other countries for the Airbus A330MRTT, however, once running a flight in the sim, the Airbus A330MRTT has no livery options at all, only being able to use the Australian Air Force livery which is provided as default.
Other aircraft have the pop up display for all the liveries they contain, but this is not true for the A330MRTT, and all the other ‘base’ Airshow Assistant Tanker buddies from the main addon, which all lack their liveries as well.
I’d like to know if there is a solution for this, or if the liveries mentioned are not yet implemented?
Once again thank you for the amazing addon.
You may notice there is another A330 option under the aerial refuelers pack section, which you may miss (check included picture).
Also, updated version of Airshow Assistant required to display this option, but due technical issue with FS24/Xbox specifically we had to delay FS24 update, hope it will be available next week. It was published for FS2020 tho.
Great! Thanks for the response and I am looking forward to enjoying the update when it releases for 2024.
Another thing, if possible: I’m not sure if this is something that has already been added in this upcoming update, but would there ever be a possibility for a Luftwaffe/German Air Force A400M or KC-130 livery for the Refuelling Tanker?
The only Luftwaffe Tanker available at the moment seems to be the A310 (Excluding the fighters with the refuelling pod), which is no longer in service with the GAF as a tanker, so having their current main tankers would be a plus.
If not, that is okay. The current livery for the A400M is not very different, but having the accurate livery for it would be lovely.
Thank you again for the reply, keep up the good work!
After update I can no longer get the hot keys to work. Tried uninstall and reinstall but no luck.
I am on cloud gaming for xbox
issue confirmed, however we experience problem with Xbox WASM compatibility which may take time to resolve. can’t provide precise date for the next release.
Thank you for your response. I appreciate it
Is there any way to add an option to control where the tanker spawns or set the distance in straight legs? Would love to use this for longer military flights but the default intercept angle and the length of the holding pattern is a bit too much at times.
We have plans to add orbit params – you will be able to set orbit center and width/length. Not sure about other routes like intercept – maybe some parameters will be added there as well.
just downloaded, and it looks VERY VERY interesting… But as far as I can read it’s a default AI tanker.. there is not the chance to use it online as a player and as a tanker? I mean can I use my miltech V.22 as a tanker?
thanks…
following ur awesome work
players can’t take a tanker role due to sim SDK limitations
Hi TouchingCloud and thank you very much for bringing this amazing addon to MSFS.
I’ve experienced a glitch with the ASOBO Hornet, or maybe it’s actually accurate, I don’t know.
Between 1 and 2 minutes after pre-contact, my Hornet pitches either up or down in a very aggressive maneuver, which causes the drogue to break. There is no way I can counter react when it happens. I’ve tried all the tankers and the same thing happens.
I’m not even touching the stick and it still happens.
It’s very frustrating because you know it’ll happen at some point during the event. It started when you released the dynamic drogue update, which by the way looks amazing.
The heatblur IFE F-14 has no problem tanking at all, only the Hornet.
This is in MSFS2020.
Doesn’t seem to be a valid behaviour. Any chance you can make a short video, perfectly showing the Airshow window so I will see which settings you have and will be able to test it in same conditions.
Just for testing purpose you may try different difficulties – each has it’s own assistances, maybe some of them are cause the issue.
Hi,
I just purchased today the AIRSHOW! AERIAL REFUELING DLC, but it does not show up in MSFS2020.
I`ve been watching your tutorial, but in the menu bar above is it completely missing.
Any Idea what I might be doing wrong?
I tried it on my PC as Xbox X, on both I do not see anything in the menu bar above in center of screen.
MSFS Version 13.8.2.0
The DLC is addition to the Airshow Assistant toolbar, it clearly said in the description. Once AirshowAssistant toolbar purchased and installed, you will find these AI aircraft in the list of available tankers.
What differs between this and ‘Airshow assistant’?
this pack adds new tankers into the Airshow Assistant
