Auto Credit Based on EliteArsenals24's Hot Air Balloon
Take out the observation balloon, but be careful of those cables!
- Throttle for lift (approx.70%) and VTOL up to pay out the cable.
- AG2 to drop bombs from balloon, camera 2 (don't bomb your base, but use the wind settings to move away from your base).
- AG3 to start bi-plane (camera 3 or 4 for aiming).
Enjoy

Check out the skywriting - its a better version. But can upload this one if you like.
@temporaryaccount
Yes, I forgot about that... good to hear you still checked it out.
@Smasher8ball
SpiritusRaptor, because I’m on mobile, the shoot button doesn’t show up because it is disconnected from the blimp, so I scrapped
the biplane and used your nieuport 11 instead.
I just scraped the biplane and set the winches to activate with the throttle, you can spawn it as an ai and it will rise into the sky automatically
Lol, because of how light the balloon is, you can literally just ram into it and the plane will be fine. The balloon on the other hand, will not, which is pretty funny, considering how much bigger the balloon is compared to the Biplane.
K.@metallicplanes
one that is set up so you can spawn it in and it will be ready to be shot at @SpiritusRaptor
What do you mean exactly?
@Nerfenthusiast
could we get one thwt is already deployed so I can test one of my planes @SpiritusRaptor
@SpiritusRaptor I was telling that to him. You knew that right?
Got it
@metallicplanes
@QingyuZhou sounds fun
@AerialFighterSnakes The cockpit on the balloon. On PC you can press spacebar to fire, regardless of whether or not the gun is connected to the cockpit. On android iOS or PC the fire button won't pop up if the gun is disconnected
@EliteArsenals24 Now they are
Never thought my balloons will be put to good use lol.
Lots of fun
PS if you want to cheat, fire in slow motion
I'm gonna try to bomb the grounded biplane using the balloon.
Tried to do that on mine and it set it as main, so I cannot control the blimp anymore. @SpiritusRaptor
Nice! So, we're playing a game inside a game, right?
Thx. You should make more flying machines :D @SpiritusRaptor
Ahh. There is a small cockpit just behind the pilots seat - make that active and it should work. If not then change the armed group to ALL. On a PC I just hit the space bar to fire :)
@AerialFighterSnakes
Plant these all over the map for some fun
Cool!
How do I fire the guns? I hit 3 but the gun firing button won’t pop up.
