AGM-88 HARM Quick Reference Card V1.0
-
PDF Available Here - https://github.com/TheChemistAstronaut/AGM-88-HARM-QUICK-REFERENCE-CARD/releases/latest
After reading through all the manuals for the HARM in BMS/DCS, I realized that keeping track of memorizing all the settings, modes, sub-modes, and sub-sub modes is sometimes challenging, and I decided to make a quick reference card for the HARM to make it easier for myself and those who h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ are learning or coming back to review the system. It includes the controls, a HARM code table, and a reference for what many of the sub modes and settings do. This isn’t intended to be comprehensive, and is meant for use after having learned the HARM system in more detail through other sources.
Enjoy, and I look forward to hearing feedback! There’s still a bit of dead space in the card that can be filled with some more useful info.

@TheChemistAstro Hi. Very useful!! Thanks.

Outstanding work…Just placed on my kneeboard!!

@skulldragger Very cool!!How does one save this document to the kneeboard?

@hiuuz Thank you! I was hoping, though, that there was a way to “permanently” have it on the Kneeboard without having to use WDP every time.
-
@danster If you want to make a general kneeboard layout (nothing sortie specific), than you have to make the setup once. Besides if you want to have specific sortie related info some of the pages of the kneeboard, you can still leave other pages (eg this reference card) untouched. You don’t need to select those pages every time!
-
@hiuuz That would be great! Both EZ Boards and WDP allow sortie specific updates to knee boards, but how would one “make the setup once”- as you suggest- for pages one wants untouched by sortie specific info? Maybe by editing config. data?
-
@danster Hey! If you’d like, I quit using WDP a while ago and now just use a program called OpenKneeBoard, you can check it out here.

There’s no need to re-do all your kneeboards every time you fly with it, and you can import whole folders/pdfs in one go and organize them in tabs.
-
@danster In WDP if you want to update your kneeboard, you have to click to “Upd Kneeboard” button on the left, and make the changes you want. By every page are an option to “Don’t Change”. That means, that page will not update and will remain the same as by the previous save. If you made all changes you have to click “Save” on the bottom right.
If you would like to make a general kneeboard layout, next time in WDP make all the changes, than click save. That will update the image files of the kneeboard. Unless you make other changes and save again, the kneeboard images will remain the same.
-
@TheChemistAstro Is it able to update the flight callsigns, frequencies, map with steering points automatically before every sortie? If yes, I’m interested.

@hiuuz I tried WDP before I even discovered Openkneeboard, but I found that for my uses Openkneeboard absolutely beats out WDP without comparison. I can just drag and drop any kneeboard files I need for a flight into a folder I have set-up in OpenKneeBoard which is a lot easier for me than the process than WDP uses, since just dragging and dropping is a lot easier than waiting for WDP to load and adding your kneeboard page by page.
For some things I like to keep around for reference (For example, the entire official BMS checklist PDF) and an infinite notepad for writing things down with a drawing tablet are impossible to import with WDP. My kneeboard has more than the limited 16 pages-per-kneeboard that WDP gives you of different navigational/systems/weapons reference material that would not be possible to manage in WDP.
And if I ever want to see the datacard exported from WDP, I have OpenKneeboard pointed to the exported datacard folder so that all the information shows up in a Openkneeboard tab too, except now I can also mark it up/write on it if any information needs to be added on-the-go.
I did use WDP initially, but after finding Openkneeboard I cannot see myself ever going back for kneeboard purposes.

Thanks for putting this together! I’d spell “targeting” with a single “t” but I’m not sure, just looks better to me and saves some space
All the best, Uwe

Awesome thanks colored text

Hello
Good summary.
One remark concerning the NC option, you mark NO GLIDE. It seems to me that this is not correct, the EOMG sub-mode is active.
Gliding is therefore possible.Enjoy your flight
