Detailed tutorial: msfs.touching....
this is one of the hardest things to achieve but very satisfying once you succeed, thanks for making this a challenge and well detailed instead of going the easy way making it easy even pros got me sweating
I’d love to see the KC-135 and MRTT added as tanker options. Oh, and the KC-10!
Touching Cloud is THE Wizard of MSFS2020
This is amazing! I never thought I'd see this in MSFS, but here we are. Even with a drogue or boom that actually attaches to the aircraft. This and the Miltech Supercarrier added so much more to the military aircraft experience in Flight Simulator. Thank you both!
One additional comment...a big thanks to TouchingCloud for continually updating the Airshow Assistance app... constant updates and improvement are very much appreciated!
I request the tanker but it never appears
You need to restart the sim after it was installed/updated, it is an requirement for WASM add-ons with custom simobjects
@@TouchingCloudI was having the same issue this helps
@TouchingCloud hello, what precisely needs to be downloaded in order to request the refuel tanker planes? Thank you for any help
@@cheekyxmaverick8596 you only need AirshowAssistant v3 (latest - 3.6.0 from MSFS Marketplace). Toolbar and tankers models included.
Thank you for this! I think a very simple mode in which the tanker is always attached to the jet, in like a static way would also be nice for the visuals. Perhaps with a little movement programmed inbetween the two if possible, but that it always stays attached.
This would open up more possibilities for videographers.
This is insanely cool! One prob I've noticed is that the F-18 seems to have a bit of trouble hooking up to the tanker, and requires me to fly into to the cable. Haven't tried the other's yet but even with the glitch, this is insanely cool!
im in love with this addon, i bought it a while ago and haven’t had a problem with it.
are you not having any issues with tanker airspeed? this mod is incredibly frustrating to use, fly at 215kts and tanker set to 200kts and it drifts away from me
Loving your work with this addon, really didn't expect to see this update!
I think the next level for this would be when the tanker spawns in that it might not be right in front of you, or even the same altitude, it might be 20 miles away and 20000 feet below or above you and flying a totally different heading.
This would also require the use of some navigation equipment (preferably something smaller than the airshow assistant window and that arrow)
Maybe a tacan frequency to tune to so it ties in with the airplanes themselves? It is quite fun to do this successfully though!
Exactly! Even more - tankers will orbit in selected area, whil buddy refuelers will join the formation in front of you.
@@TouchingCloud there you go! Select the area(s) I will need a tanker, and they orbit there until I get there, and use TACAN or VOR or ADF to find them. Maybe have some common ones that I can “sync to live time” with my friends so that they see one too in the same place and we can refuel together over popular airbases like Nellis, or whatever. Hope you guys can figure this stuff out. I like it as is, but this would take it up 3 levels.
Great video...awesome you could do that with a helicopter. I tried the F-18 and just couldn't get there. I'll try again today. Cheers and thanks, J
I'm trying to find the video... But there is an F-18 pilot on tiktok and i believe RUclips that shows and talks through every step of RL refueling and if you follow his instruction by applying them to msfs it makes refueling so much easier and fun. I'll try and find the video and reply here
Superb work!! Cant wait to have some voices or radio commands..looking forrward to trying it out
This is awsome thanks for bringing AAR to msfs!!! I already purchased it in the marketplace. Will you implement an option to have not just tankers but any plane flying straight or following way points so we can practice formation flight?
Planned but not in a short time
This is really nice, because it gives you something to do and to practice with military birds in MSFS.
If something like that is possible, maybe it would also be possible to spawn in aircraft for practicing formation flying? So a plane in front of you, that does some altitude and / or speed and direction changes and that you can joyn and try to stay in formation? Would be another thing the military does.
AI formation leader is planned, but can't say how soon
The process is very complicated from what I saw in the clip. I hope to add an automatic fuel refueling option, not a manual one, because it is really difficult to balance the speed.
It is complicated indeed. The most challenging part is keep airspeed synced, but in Rookie mode you will have assistant for that - in the first part of the video, after contact, I do not change throttle or spoilers position, it happen automatically. You only need to keep aircraft behind the refueling pod.
Just need the High altitude Blimp tanker from the 2005 Stealth movie 😆
And a Handley Page Victor tanker 🤩
Bought it! Thanks for the tutorial!
Very cool!!! I have to try this on my next flight!
I already own ASA, bought via Marketplace a month ago. Is V3 already out?
Yes, you just need to update it
really nice addon !
The only issue I have with this is: If I set the tanker to fly at 250kts I have to fly 255-260kts to even reach the tanker
Please ensure you have v3.7 or later, incorrect tanker IAS was fixed and confirmed by several testers
How do you get it to show up on the menu bar please ?
Will more tankers be added in the future? Like kc 130
can we get a RAAF KC30 :) or even better i'd pay for a headwind mod to work as a MRTT / KC30
This is great! Does it work with the F35 by IndiaFoxtEcho? And the Vulcan?
Both supported
Thank you so much for your effort on this.
Fly on the xbox only the Eurofighter from CJ Simulation and I tried it several times but unfortunately without success. (Rookie Mode)
Could you please tell me if this is also workable for the Eurofighter?
Thank you
Markus
Oh....I saw the description about the AAR....so, I assume, the Eurofighter is not working
What exactly happen? Are you able to catch the basket? If contact happen but not all tanks get full then it is known issue, will be fixed with this Thursday update.
@@TouchingCloud thank you, I am not able to catch the basket....also the filler neck do not work automatically in Rookie-Mode
@@TouchingCloud comes the update today?
@@markush.8942 should be
I cant get it to work on xbox series X. It says to remove quick resume which i did and restarted the game but still doesnt work. Do you need to purchase a specific air tanker for it to work as well?
Currently there is a bug which appear on newerly added liveries - try to change livery to default one for this aircraft, or some stock aircraft - like f/a-18. This issue will be fixed in next update.
You are a magician! :D
Now Blanik? :)
Poor thing is waiting for sounds recording session :(
@@TouchingCloud one step at a time :)
Hi all, when i set the speed of the tanker, then tune my autothrottle to that speed, the tanker is always moving faster than me and i can never get in line with the boom. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong
It is a bug, will be fixed in next week update
@@TouchingCloudthe speed bug isn't fixed and ive updated
@@justinwesolek8749 it is more complicated than you may think. Fly along the tanker with 100m offset and your IAS will accurately match airspeed slider. Then move behind the tanker and IAS jumps 10-20kts. Which means tanker engines and aircraft wash affects airspeed values by core simulation.
@@TouchingCloud i tried this as you said and the tanker was still faster than me.
@@justinwesolek8749 same here
Hi, so the link to the compatible aircrafts is not working on your site.I wonder if the C17 by deltasimulations and the C130 by Cpt Sim also working with AAR? For the C130 we get a probe mod addon from flightsim to
you are right, here it is Aircraft compatibility table: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qRnXrvNaPtnUJD7HON4hR1jJBUM4tECMb6BktFr3hUw/
these haven't configured yet, but you can make any aircraft capable for AAR by simple actions (like I have made with Cabri at the end of the video)
@@TouchingCloud Ty! Working
@@TouchingCloud sorry but is not clear to me the compatibility file... red color on file means not compatible ?
@@ESAbolichin more like "something wrong or missing", but only critical issue is with F-5 as it does not work with AAR at all.
Main issue of DC planes is self refuelling when probe/bay engaged, even if it suppressed by Airshow during approach it still affects fuel flow on contact (it much faster than in RL and not affected by difficulty settings).
Some planes has no probe, so default on e (from f/a-18) is used. Soon probe color selection will be added so wouldn't be a big deal.
well done 👍
looks nice
why cant i install it from the website? there is no download link
V3 available only in MSFS marketplace
Will it be on the web soon?@@TouchingCloud
@@adrianmarti1130 no, currently only in msfs marketplace
dark soul of mfs🥵
wdym
I request and it doesnt spawn tho (im on xbox x)
You need to restart the game by removing it from Quick Resume
How very sad 😭 is all this... 👎Do you guys know of the existence of DCS?
jealous?
Lil bro not everyone can afford dcs’s add ons
Some of us want to fly anywhere in the world
We know DCS but can you also fly at every single point on earth like in MSFS? That's the reason, why we love and fly MSFS....🎉🥰🌞😎✌️😇💥💯‼️
