I just posted an update to the Jumbo Tanker addon.
Since it was taking forever to send lots of fuel to the Moon in 28 ton batches, I decided to build a special version of the Jumbo Tanker which has higher thrust and can fly itself from LEO to lunar orbit. It's called the Jumbo Tanker QJ, or Quad Jet, and has four powerful thrusters instead of the standard one. By the time you arrive in lunar orbit you still have about 200,000 kg of propellant left if you've done it efficiently. That should save you quite a few lunar transfer flights, and it gives you an excuse to launch some more big rockets, which is always fun.
Speaking of which, I also added launch scenarios using AndyMc's Jupiter V rocket, which I've meant to do for all my addons for a while, since his rockets are current tech, fairly realistic, and beautiful things to fly. Since the Jupiter V is a multistage2 vehicle and the Jumbo Tankers are spacecraft3 vehicles, you cannot call the tankers via a config file, so some of your old scenarios may need a change before they work.
