OK, I set llSetVehicleType(VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON); but this seems to set a whole bunch of the other parameters for me. Is there a way to find out what these are besides exhaustive testing? For example I could not get VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION to push my balloon up or down because VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT is apparently set to a non-zero value for balloons. When I set that to 0.0 I was finally able to push my balloon up.
But I’m still unable to get the VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION to work at all. I set it to reasonable vectors like <0.0,0.0,1.0> but no rotation. I tried setting:
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY,1.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE,1.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE,100.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE,1.0);
but still the balloon won’t rotate on a VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION call. What am I doing wrong?

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON

I think that's what you want.

First link when you Google search for VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON , also when you search the wiki for it and click the Go button.

Try llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X | STATUS_ROTATE_Y | STATUS_ROTATE_Z, TRUE);
I think these are set false for balloons and that locks them from rotating.

Thanks SuzanneC, I didn't think to click on the VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON constant to go to that page, it shows all the defaults! Now I know what is on that I want to turn off!
And thanks AnnMarie, I should have thought of llSetStatus. I only need to turn STATUS_ROTATE_Z back to true so I can turn my balloon. And that is working now! I can steer my balloon! Yippee!
