Realistic Sonobuoys

Description
Big thanks to ryu1940 on youtube for inspiring this mod
A very simple tweak that extends the communiction range of the main USN/Soviet Sonobuoys to more of a straight horizon distance of 100nm and extends the shutdown timer to 3 hours. THIS DOES NOT MODIFY ITS DETECTION PROPERTIES. While a longer running time is more realistic unfortunately it would result in lower FPS in large scenarios so I went with a more balanced time. As always feedback welcome specially from Vets as I am unsure how the transmitter power would effect range.

If you would like to extend the time of the sonobouys and you want to kill others to prevent lag you can click F10 and go to general, make sure you have the sonobouy selected and then in the bottom right of the F10 screen you hit arm and then self destruct and it will pop the sonobouy. Be very sure that you have the bouy selected because it will delete anything it has selected and that includes boats and even your carrier. I use it for dead ships and bouys that are no longer needed to get better FPS

good mod, works fine for me. i also use white sands, you have to put this above white sands to make it work.

Is this mod working for others? It does for me if I place it up the top of the list.

@Vangel damn just what I wanted to hear getting home from a holiday haha. Jeez TBH I am not experienced enough to figure out why. Might have to reinstall my game as my other mod won't update either

@ Sonny no I have not I am a diesel mechanic. However if you have your input would be greatly appreciated :)

Still not working. If it's a problem with another mod I can't find it. Changing config files myself also don't work. Something must overwrite them and your mod.

@Sonny Mind telling us the issue then?

Realistic? You've obviously never operated a actual sonobouy system before.

@Vangal weird I disabled all mods except my own and it works however when i enable White Sands/NTU etc and put it towards the bottom it defaults to the 1 hour/15 mile. Thats running the workshop version too not my local version
