No change needed for TWOS

Do you wonder why your hydrophone (KDB) goes into destruct mode when you reach 120m and there seems no logical reason for this to happen?

This happens because of the R.S.D. mod.

To overcome this problem you need to change the default setting Crash Depth=140.

There are 2 options.

Change the default 140 number to a higher number 200 –220 etc.
Or:

If you want to make it indestructible then just add a semi-colon in front of the line in the example below.

;Crash Depth=140

Likely looking path to make the change:
