Default Vessel config file help - what is TubeConfig for?

What is the purpose of the following vessel config file entry?

TubeConfig=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

Currently at the start of a mission/campaign, my tubes are all loaded with my primary torpedo. I am looking for a way to have specific tubes loaded with specific weapons. I realize that after entering port and reloading, I will have to assign my preferred loadout but if I can set a default I won't have to set that up initially in single missions or at the start of a campaign.

With what you have posted there it is saying that you have 9 tubes.
So it will be 8 torp tubes and 1 VLS i presume.

Loadouts are filled from the first weapon listed and then in order.
But if the 1st only say has 4, then the 2nd will fill rest of tubes and so on.

ie....
TorpedoTypes=usn_mk48_adcap,usn_moss_2,usn_ugm84,u sn_tasm,usn_tlam
TorpedoNumbers=16,2,8,0,0
TorpedoTubes=5
NumberOfWires=4
TubeConfig=1,1,1,1,1

This would be a loadout of all adcaps.
However...
TorpedoTypes=usn_mk48_adcap,usn_moss_2,usn_ugm84,u sn_tasm,usn_tlam
TorpedoNumbers=2,1,8,12,0
TorpedoTubes=5
NumberOfWires=4
TubeConfig=1,1,1,1,1

This would be 2 adcaps, 1 moss and 1 harpoon. 5th tubes is for VLS.

TorpedoNumbers works as you describe to load the total of each weapon into stores. It does not however, pre-load preferred weapons into specific tubes at the start of a mission or a campaign. I have to manually select tubes and change the weapon loaded in each tube where I wish to have something other than my default torpedo.

I was hoping that the series of 1's on the TubeConfig line would accomplish the default loadout that I wish to achieve but thus far changing TubeConfig to a number other than 1 doesn't seem to accomplish anything visibly different.
