However, you can make it look like your doing one with recorders, but it won't actually refuel  :(

i don't know if there are any other recorders, but FSRecorder won't record scripted animations such as the CS kc-130 's drogue, it will just record some basic keyevents such as flaps, rudder, ailerons, etc (in fact FSRecorder wont even record Xload landing gear animation or loadout)

it's much more simple to place a plane in front of you with the sdk than recording with fsrecorder, i just gotta figure out if its possible to animate the plane that i just positioned as AI. thats what im wondering if anybody knows how to.
