Sonar for helicopters/planes

[NightIntruder]

Would love to see this working as towed sonar or sonobuoys dropped from helicopter/plane. It could have following features:

SONOBUOYS:

• autodeactivation after some time (for instance - 5 minutes)
• capability to switch between different sonobuoys dropped (ie. up to 6 or more)
• obviously, GUI and display shown for pilots or in specified gunner station(s)
• would work submerged only (not during a parachute phase)

TOWED SONAR:

• would work submerged only (so needs a method to check whether the sonar was lowered)
• GUI and display shown for pilots or in specified gunner station(s)
• a forward speed of the sonar bigger than 50 kph would cease its operation

Nice, efficient way to set up the thing would be warmly welcome, like an mission int.sqf or (even better) aircraft's config entries that would allow to set up:

• the time of battery power for sonobuoys
• number of sonobuoys operating simultaniously
• the crew stations that allows to see the display and set up things
• the speed above which the towed sonar would cease operation

Well that's quite a lot of work, I don't have time to work more on this currently, but thanks for your interest in the mod. You can see the code yourself if you like and ask me how it works so you can experiment, if you want.
