Some doubts, questions regarding plane loadout options...

First, Weapons sets tab.

Central Bomb Bay and bomb list, four position: is it, that just names SC-250, SC-500, SD-250, SD-500 are important regarding this article on TF wiki: TF wiki, Gerry bombs (http://www.theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/wiki/doku.php?id=usebomb)?
How this is related to drop options I can select during flight #1, #2, All? All is clear, but #1 is central or all wings? This way #2 is just the opposite?

Second, the bombs tab.
So here I set the fuse for each type? This is not related to current loadout but rather kind of 'global' setting? So this means this setting affects current bomb type selected under 'Weapons set' tab?
And fuses, three types according to this article TF wiki, Gerry fuses (http://www.theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/wiki/doku.php?id=gerfuses).
What is meaning of charging and with automatic delay? E.g. C50 (15) - Dive bombing shows 8 week. "week" ?
Charging can be set in seconds from 0 - .08/.05/.04 - 14/8? What is this value for? Explosion after impact?
With automatic delay is only information, or does it adds to charging?

And this info from wiki: The fuse has a secondary arming delay... I do not get it.

#1 is for the central bomb and you can load one of: sc-250, sc-500, sd-250, or sd-500.
#2 is for the wing bomb racks and you can load the 4 sc-50s.

When you arm the bombs, the toggle switch will be up and depending on what you have selected, all, #1, or #2, the lights will indicated what is ready to drop. Default is all, so all the lights will be on. #1, just the one central bomb bay light, #2 the 4 other lights. I stick to the sc-250 or sc-500 as the SD bombs have to be dropped from > than 1k.

In sticking with the sc-250 or sc-500 plus the sc-50s, I just stick to the low level detonator with a 14 sec fuse on top of the auto fuse (still takes only 14 sec). This is a delay (from impact) when you drop at low level so you don't blow yourself up.

Hope this helps.
