A really dumb question. In the payload section of an plane dp file, there are 2 number entries at the end of each payload listed, like 1, -1 , 2, -1, 1, -4 etc.
and they vary from plane to plane. What does the second to the last number mean and what does the last number mean? A post on simviation kind of
explained what each entry meant, but it still wasn't clear. I've seen payload entries on one plane that are the same on another plane for say a particular
load out, but sometimes the the last two numbers are different from the one plane to the other. Just would like to know. Thanks.
 
Here is the bombs from the stock A6M2 Zero. The red numbers are the number of bombs carried. This seem to be an unfinished thing as adding more bombs doesn't list more bombs in the aircraft select screen for payload and if you don't have unlimited ammo enabled you can't drop any of the extra bombs. The green numbers are used for dropping bombs simultaneously. -1 means the bomb is selectable by the player and the 4 means that this bomb will drop when the bomb on mount 4 is dropped.

[PAYLOAD.3]
mount.3=wep_pylon_ja_wing, 1, -1
mount.2=wep_ja_30kg_gp, 1, 4
mount.5=wep_pylon_ja_wing, 1, -1
mount.4=wep_ja_30kg_gp, 1, -1
 
It's not a dumb question. The dp can be complex when you get into the weeds. Attached is a more complete dp weapons tutorial which will help you understand the weapons portion.
