The latest patch from ubisoft is 1.02 however there is one addon available called Flaming cliffs which is also included with lockon gold. You can still refuel with lockon 1.02 in single player(neither version works very well refuelling online only Falcon 4 Allied Forces has that capability). A HOTAS is your joystick with throttle which you need to be able to fly the aircraft to connect to the boom or basket. The more expensive HOTAS are better as they are more sensitive and allow smaller throttle inputs which is what you need to stay with the tanker. In lockon 1.02 the refuelling is scripted as in as soon as you connect with either the basket or boom the aircraft remains there until you retract the probe or close the refuelling door. In FC the SU33 refuelling is not scripted and the hose can flex or stretch and you have to constantly adjust to stay with the tanker.
