Repost from SCS:
SCS did not decrease the bouyancy and deploy speed of the dipping sonar when they increased the length, so the dipping sonar is curling under the helo when it is deployed using the stock database.
LWAMI fixed this problem about two months ago (thanks MaHuJa for pointing this out), and the mod team notified the producers of this consequence of increasing the length of the dipping sonar cable.
I'm sorry I didn't do more to make sure the 1.03 patch included this fix, as it makes the helo a darn pain. To get around this, start deploying the cable at altitude, and then descend to dipping depth. It works some of the time... you can check the cable on the 3-d screen.
