Please enable the "Select Primary weapon" button. It will be nice to drop
all of the bombs in one pass for planes ie 190F or Jugs. Planes with a center
and wingpositions for the loadout.

That won't work on, say, an A-20, Il-2, Ju-88A-4 or Mosquito. Or any bomber that carries a selection of bomb sizes.

I've requested several times through the years a ".salvo all" option, to salvo all bombs of all types all at once.

No no, i think you don't understand my wish.

My wish for the 2nd selection button is, that I can select all my triggers to drop bombs, not only the one selection to the secondary fire button.

As an example: FW190 F, load 500kg bomb (center), 4x50kg (wings)
Now:
select sec. to 500, drop it, select sec. to 50s, drop
primary still on guns, no selection

wish:
select prim to 500, select sec. to 50s, use both fire buttons to drop bomb(s)
select both to guns and strafe my targets or dogfight

better explained now?

Better explained, but I think it would be too confusing to people. They would set their primary and secondary to the same thing then complain when they don't have twice the bombs.

Look at all the hub-bub the P51D had with its primary select being able to select the secondary guns.

I would rather have secondary have the option "All" or to type ".salvo all" so that with one press of the secondary trigger you can drop your 500kg and your 50kg all with one press.

That avoids the confusion of setting the primary and the secondary to the same weapon.
