Hi Stiebler,

very good idea! However, I'm reluctant to change any sensor parameter without proper testing and understanding of the relationship between this parameter and the other.

As long as one does not know the real effect of varying the MiniumumSurface value, I think a better solution would be to randomly set the max. height parameter of the ASDIC sensor depending on the water depth. This would be a much better 'controllable' approach.

For instance, for a water depth of less than 50m there is a high chance that max. height of the ASDIC is 60m --> ASDIC will not work in shallow waters most of the time,...

Regards, LGN1
