Kneeboards for F-16C for guided weapon employment, and other weapons

[609_Relentov]

Not really a tutorial, closer to a guide, but hopefully helpful to anyone new to the F-16C or rusty with employing some of the weapons.

I put together some simple procedural kneeboards for the F-16C, placed in the User Files section.

As stated these are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on how to employ various guided weapons on the F-16C (after not flying it for a while).  Kneeboards included:

Made the following updates to the F-16C kneeboards for guided/other weapon employment:

- Updated the F-16C - AGM-88 HAS kneeboard, adding additional instructions for changing the RWR radar code in the HARM weapon table(s)

- Added the F-16C - AGM-88 RWR ALIC CODES kneeboard, which shows the radar codes for the various ground/sea-based radars, along with their RWR symbol

- Added the F-16C - AGM-88 POS HTS kneeboard, which shows how to employ the AGM-88 in POS mode with the HTS pod.

Made the following updates to the F-16C kneeboards for guided/other weapon employment:

- Updated AGM-65/GBU-12/GBU-38 kneeboards with TPOD due to minor edits and correcting an error (TMS Right for area track, not TMS Down).

- Added the F-16C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM PRE TPOD kneeboard, which shows how to semi-ripple multiple JDAMs in one pass.

- Added the F-16C - USING HMCS FOR AG WITH TPOD kneeboard, which shows how to use the HMCS to search for and target ground objects, to allow for further targeting with the TPOD.

These are awesome, saves having to have Chucks guide handy when I forget.

Made a minor update to the following kneeboards, adding a step to turn on the right hardpoint for the TPOD.

F-16C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM PRE TPOD.png

Besides adding the step above, also updated the following kneeboards to add a step for the AGM-65D/TPOD boresight (part 1) and slightly expanded the weapon employment (part 2).

I made the following changes:

After expanding the RWS section to include DTT, and making a minor update to the TWS section, the following kneeboard:

F-16C - AIR-TO-AIR BVR AIM-120.png

has been replaced with the following two kneeboards:

F-16C - AIR-TO-AIR BVR AIM-120-1.png
F-16C - AIR-TO-AIR BVR AIM-120-2.png

Please delete the first kneeboard listed above, if previously installed, and replace with the two new ones above.

Minor update to the following kneeboard, fixing some missing steps

Back from August, 2023:

Added the following kneeboard:

F-16C - GBU-38 JDAM PRE-PLANNED.png

Given the new F10 map feature (i.e. left-Alt / left-mouse-click) which brings up a coordinates dialog box for that map position just clicked (and remains when you shift back to cockpit view), it's now even easier to use pre-planned mode for JDAM and JSOW weapons.  This kneeboard is for JDAMs, but the procedure is basically identical for using JSOWS in pre-planned mode.

May 3rd, 2024:

Added the following kneeboard:

F-16C - USING ALQ-131 OR ALQ-184 ECM pods.png

Spent some time practicing SEAD missions with some jamming using the various ECM pods, so I thought I'd write up a kneeboard to jot down some usage notes.
