I present to you the first (I assume) working balloon in Simpleplanes.

I Actually tried to make a balloon awhile back since gyroscopes were added but eventually gave up because of a lot of failed attempts. Back then I used hinges to make a chain that acts as the string of the balloon. But now since winches were added it opens up new possibilities. I was surprised how it works well and even acts like a real balloon almost like it's an actual game part.

Here's a test footage of the balloon:
Working Balloon Test

The crate weighs exactly 1000 pounds.
There are some advantages and disadvantages but all in all it's good enough.

I'm planning to post 2 kinds of balloons one is a normal balloon (helium balloon) and the other one is a hot air balloon. Both applies the same concept. For now I've finished making the normal balloon and I'll post it tomorrow.
