A simple helium filled balloon.

Pressumably the first working balloon in SimplePlanes.

How to use:

Just strap and float

Features:

Floats - Well it floats.

Tips:

1. I've assigned the balloon to AG8 which means it activates from the start. I suggest that you keep it that way if you want it to feel like a real life balloon.
2. You can toggle the buoyancy of the balloon by changing the PowerMultiplier through xml modding. You can also change the input if you like.
3. By default the balloon can lift about 1000 pounds or even more.
4. If you want the string to be longer or shorter adjust the range of the winch.
5. The balloon is mirror-friendly
6. I suggest to keep AG8 active. Because activating and deactivating sometimes can mess with the balloon and fly in random directions especially if multiple balloons are attached.

Here's a demo provided by Floaty Boi

Basically this is made up of 5 main parts:
A winch for the string, An engine for helium or air, An inlet for the engine, A gyroscope for straight flight and a fuel tank for fuel.
The rest are for aesthetic purposes.

Also I've finished making the hot air balloon.
Basically it just changes the input to Throttle other than Activation Groups but I want to have a realistic feel to it and added some parts. Still has a low part count though.

Alrighty Floaty Boi out!
