Aerial Refueling Pro is the logical continuation for our Military Utility products, along with Supercarrier Pro and mission-based aircraft.
Aerial refueling, also known as air-to-air refueling, is the process of transferring fuel from one aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight. Aerial Refueling is typically described by pilots as one of the most complex and demanding maneuvers in aviation.
A handful of tanker models will be included, Including the KC135, KC130 and A330MRTT
Both refueling methods are supported - Flying Boom and Probe-and-Drogue
Request a tanker anywhere, anytime. Tankers spawn at a predefined distance from the user aircraft, and at set altitudes and speeds.
Over 30 3rd party aircraft are compatible - including all Miltech Simulations, DC Designs, CJ Simulations and IndiaFoxtEcho aircraft.
Realistic sounds and calls from the refueling operator.
Refueling times and capacities adjusted for aircraft type.
I was lucky enough to fly on a tanker sortie (two, actually) and the memories will live with me forever. If this mod can fire a tenth of one percent of those memories, it would be marvellous and it is therefore needless to say that I will be getting it, along with a receiver which will give another aspect to MSFS and possibly my wallet too.
I’d really like to air to air a BlackHawk…or the Sea Stallion that was teased… maybe soon? One can dream.
This looks amazing. Always pumping out the outstanding work. Bravo.
This makes me smile. MilTech, you certainly have an eye for what we want in this sim. I could not be a bigger fan of your products. Very much looking forward to seeing how you redefine what is possible in the sim once again!
You guys have many questions - so just wanted to clarify a few things:
PC and Xbox
List of compatible aircraft will be announced prior to release. Will include all the popular 3rd party modules. Any aircraft not on the final list will be included upon request, though beware that due to various reasons we won’t be supporting aircraft from Bredok or MScenery.
The addon is developed from the “receiver perspective”, meaning that tankers are AI Driven and the product is designed for single-user flights. Now, multiplayer may happen, but involving one user flying the tanker and the others flying as receivers. AI aircraft of this kind are not MP Friendly.
There will be international liveries (eg. RAF and other armies)
Final tanker list to be announced. May end up being more than 5 due to popular request
This is great to see! Was hoping to see this as an ‘aviation activity’ for MSFS 2024 as it’s a non-lethal Microsoft friendly element of military aviation.
