This is NOT the same product as in MSFS Marketplace. Additional tankers, such as Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, Handley Page Victor and Airbus A330 MRTT, should be purchased separately. All other features are similar.
This add-on was tested with MSFS2024 developer alpha version and some features do not work as expected (visual effects and flares behaviour mostly), also 3rd party aircraft may be incorrectly processed by refueling script. You'll need to wait several weeks or even months until all issues are fixed.
This tool does not support any kind of multiplayer activities. You will not see smokes and flares, created by other players, same as they will not see yours smokes and flares. Your wingman will stay invisible for other players as well. Aerial refueling Live mode is an exception, but it is very limited and still in development.
Rotorcraft (helicopters, ornithopters etc. ) can not be wingmen in MSFS2020.
Wingmen may have inaccurate appearance - fault visual effects generated, incorrect payload visible, blank registration number, especially when different aircraft model/type chosen.
AirshowAssistant features may be affected by 3rd party SimConnect/WASM tools which manipulate AI aircraft, such as AIFlow, Air Traffic Control etc. If you experience any troubles with aerial refueling tankers or wingmen, please remove these tools while using AirshowAssistant and if it helps - report the issue to traffic control utility developer. Parallel42 products like Campout Util and SimFX known to affect WASM functionality globally, workaround applied but you may need remove these add-ons if you have basket/boom position issues.
Some features require active internet connection and user authentication on the website.
