How to select R 530 with HOTAS

[Flogger23m]

Seems like they changed the key bindings so I am trying to re-program everything.

The one thing I am having great difficulty is programming how to select the R 530. Guns and Magics are easy to program.

 

I can click it with the mouse and it generally works, though I want to program it to my HOTAS. The button is called "Weapons Selector 2" though there is no exact function in the key bindings. There are two similar named functions like Stores Select 2 and PCA Select 2, but neither of those will select the R 530.

Example of the button's name in game:

 

So what do I have to do to map "Weapons Selector 2" to my HOTAS?

That probably won't help you but for me (DCS 2.9.6.57650) the key binding named "Stores 2 SELECT" is working to swtich on/off this button.

Just confirming that "Stores 2 SELECT" should be the proper bind, as @R.MES mentioned.

Important to note that your CNM switch must be set to the neutral position (you can't have cannon or magic selected), otherwise it will override your 530 selection -- perhaps this is why you thought it wasn't working?

Thanks, I figured it out.

 

I believe it was "CNM Neutral / PCA Select Neutral"  <-- This might be incorrect, but it was something along those lines.

And then "Stores 2 SELECT".
