With this fictional craft I tried to mimic the behavior of a real gas balloon as close as possible.
This contraption operates very close to the boundaries of Simple Planes physics, so some strange things may happen.
How to operate:
When in first person view, press “Start” to go up. (This drops the four big spheres.)
Use the button “Drop” to drop more spheres.
Use the lever to go down again.
To strong wind when starting and landing can cause problems.
Have fun…

@hardy57 The Balloon keeps exploding on my mobile device. Why though.
@OrderlyHippo I am thinking of putting up one - maybe I will ...
This would be fun in multiplayer, but I don’t know any servers that work anymore :(
