Balloons are cool don't you think? I am working to make one float around.


Steller Sunshine,

I got kocked off last night, if you want to continue working on your balloon I will be around your place this evening.

Come on by anyone and take a ride!

Jean,

Thank you for the offer. But, you hve to admit, most of the fun of ballooning is riding in something you made.

oh BTW steller,

I think I found a better way to navigate than the ol move F,L,R thing.

What if we made a command that you type in the heading in degrees..

say "Set heading XXX" where XXX is degrees..

and have a set speed function

say "Set speed 2 MPH"

and "Set Height 30 Meters"

that way it would be easier to control.

The balloon would accelerate to that speed and at that heading.. not too shabby.

Whadda think?

Sounds good Roo. :)


It would also be neat to set it to a specific course, hot spots within the sims area?



Roo, check your PMs too, Personal Mesages here on the board. :D

Wow..this sounds very cool! I am new (will be downloading the program tonight) and can not wait to see what is possible in this program. I had actually never even heard of it until today, but I am glad I did.
I look forwad to meeting you all in the game.
