After the update I set the amount of minimum players to 2, minimum time to 1 hour and maximum time to 2 hours.
But for hours there was not one crate that had been dropped.
The chinook was there from time to time but didn't drop anything.

Guess the only chinook that appears is the one that brings crates to the oil rigs, but there's no chinook that drops crates on the land anymore.

Here's my config file. Don't think I did something wrong. https://textuploader.com/1k9rw

  "Minimum time until drop (in seconds)": 3600.0, 
  "Maximum time until drop (in seconds)": 7200.0, 

They're too long

Suggest this

  "Minimum time until drop (in seconds)": 60.0,
  "Maximum time until drop (in seconds)": 120.0,

Why is it too long? Of course I could shorten this but I would really want this on my server. What you did would mean a chinook drops a crate every 2 minutes.
For me

"Minimum time until drop (in seconds)": 3600.0,
"Maximum time until drop (in seconds)": 7200.0,​

means the interval in which the chinook might show up. Or is it the interval in which the chinooks decides to drop the crate?
But what about "Start trying to drop delay (in seconds)" then?
I was told in another tread (https://umod.org/community/chinook-drop-randomizer/13117-meaning-of-start-trying-to-drop-delay-in-seconds) that this means the delay from CH47 spawning to trying to drop which would be similar to that right?
I don't get it. :D
This is making me crazy.
I mean I do understand english but think that the terms of those options are hard too understand.
Anyway, I will try to make it shorter and see what happens. Thank you so far.

No, that's not a drop every 2 minutes.

This is trying to drop every two minutes

Sorry, English is not my native language

Ok. No prob. It isnt mine too. :)
So, is there an option to let the chinook that brings the crate to the map appear in a certain intervall like maybe 1-2 hours?

You can use it to control the spawning rate of chinook

Chinook Drop Randomizer just makes hack crate more random

Aaaah ok. Thank you. I still don't get what the difference is between the "Start trying to drop delay" option and the minimum and maximum time until drop but I guess I will find out somehow. :)

A random time between maximum time and minimum time for the hack crate to try to drop, and if you can't drop, at the next random time, keep trying to drop

So the "Start trying to drop delay" is a time that comes before the minimum to maximum time sets in?

Yes, try to drop after "Start trying to drop delay"

Sorry for getting on your nerves maybe, but I am ingame now for over 3 hours and not 1 chinook showed up.
I reinstalled the plugin, deleted the old config and didnt change anything in the new config.
So it's like this: https://textuploader.com/1k9o4
But for over 3 hours not one crate.
This isn't normal, right?
I guess I'm gonna go with the old plugin file for now.

Install it...
Modify Chinook spawning rate
https://umod.org/plugins/timed-events

So everyone of us most install the Timed Events plugin now for this to work?
But your plugin worked well before that update. I really wouldn't wanna install one more.
Well, maybe you find a solution for this. I will take the older plugin file of your plugin so far.
That one worked really good.

Enter "entity.spawn ch47scientists.entity" in F1
