Sonarbuoys

this is probably a rather noobish question but.....


when i drop a lot of SBs i cannot access them on the accoustic panel, so how do i change modes, switch to xmit, etc for SBs i cannot access?

Uhm..dont know what are doing wrong, but you CAN acess any sonobuoy you (or even some friendly platform) launched, no matter how many they are. Except those which were in water too long, their battery drained and they disappeared from the nav map.

You can't, first you have to tune on the sonobuoys channel and then you can modify the modes, active, passive, scuttle etc...

this is actually covered in the manual better than anyone here can describe. Just look at the coresponding section under the Helo, P-3 and FFG parts of the manual.
