Extend fuel probes on KC-130

Anyone know how to extend the fuel probes on the KC-130?

I can't seem to find any documentation on this.

Thanks

It should be the same as the FS9 version.  Shift 2 to bring up the mini icons in the lower left corner of the screen.  Then select the icon shaped like the drouge unit.  This should bring up  small panel that allows you to turn the hoses on/off and to deploy them.

Thanks Dax but that is not shown in the mini icons of FSX version nor in the Automation panel.

Still looking for a control for this or wondering if it's even possible to extend the re-fueling hoses on the FSX KC-130.

Can anyone describe what functions, if any, you get from the Extra Pack I KC-130 tanker? Is it purely model and animation of fuel probes or is there some (realistic) simulation of the tanker systems (extra tanks, fuel transfer)? It would be great if you can simulate refueling of other planes in multiplayer (without anyone having to "cheat" by invoke the fuel menu), but I'm guessing that such a feature is not included.
