How do I reset the DSMS to represent (add) new weapons if I add a weapon to inventory? I know I read it or watched a video but can't find it. Thanks.

Da FAC?
Go in the INV page and there you can add the payload for each pylon to the system. By pressing the LOAD or LOAD SYM you actually save it in the system.
If the weapon was not loaded to the jet before, you'll have to create a profile too. That can be done to load the manual profile, and copy that one.
I'll make a short demonstration video later on.

Da FAC?
As promised, here an example video.
I start on the ramp with 2 travelpods, 1 fuel tank and a full load of CM.
I physically load
AG: 2A65X4M82X1L131
AA: 2W
Pods: ALQ-131, AN/AAQ-28
Remarks: TP,65D,65H,WP
I went with "worst case scenario", where none of the weapons was previously loaded on the jet, so no profiles were existing in DSMS.
Like said before, I have to create them myself by making a copy of the manual profiles.
Once that is done, I just select the profiles with DMS Left/Right as before.
Note that in the INV page I set the AGM-65's both to the same type. This gives the benefit that I can quickly switch between the 2 types with China Hat Aft (Missile Step).
I also set a payload in the training mode, so I can do some practice deliveries with bdu's etc.
In the training mode of DSMS, I set a total different loadout. As long as the system thinks I've got the payload, it will offer me the correct symbology for the weapon deliveries. When I pickle in training mode, DMS will show the weapon being deployed, but nothing will come physically from the jet.
I can reload the DSMS as often as I want in training mode, and practice deliveries as long as my fuel allows.
Also pay attention that the 30mm type needs to be changed in the IFFCC menu.
