hi everyone

I was wondering if there are any addons out there except VRS tackpack that gives you the option for mid air re-fueling and using bombs/misiles.

thanks in advance

vACMI by SimSkunk Works has some of the capabilities.

I don't know of any program that permits mid air refuelling.

However, for weaponisation of objects within the simulator, I use FSX@War, CCP and a marvellous program called FSCAI. All these are freeware. All these I use with P3dv4, with complete success. You will need aircraft sims that can deploy weapons, but without using TacPack that limits things quite considerably. 

SSW uses vACMI as Henry stated. The weapons release and simulate strikes on some ground targets. For a more complete experience, you really need to use the objects that come with FSX@War since these are "destroyable" objects and come with their own special effects. For example a Hangar that's an FSX@War hangar will explode and show realistic effects when hit. A P3d Hangar will not!

FSCAI permits you to customise certain weapons found in P3d (natively) and all the weapons in FSX@War. The FSCAI interface is mostly concerned with ground to air weapons but has an experimental air to air feature. It's a simple text editor, so you don't require any programming skills.

This is niche within a niche stuff. Most folks use DCS for their military sim gratification. I recently got using all the above (with TacPack as well) and if your willing to use P3d Simdirector, then you can create complete battle scenarios! I prefer this since I can create scenarios anywhere in the world, over my favourite Orbx scenery with AS4 thrown in!

Take a peek at my You Tube channel. The last six videos show progressively more of the above programs in use in 64 bit P3d. 

Cheers.

Doesn't the VRS Superbug refuel from a tanker in mid-air?

and you can add an aerial refueling gauge to any aircraft...not sure if p3dv4 compatible yet.
