Hello again, I want to know how to fly the balloon , in FS 2002. It goes up about 20 feet, then nothing else...

Thanks,

First, read the readme files. Then experiment. It is important to have the top vent closed for takeoff (F5 and F Cool

. Also be sure the burner is lit and firing (M+8 for light up) -- this may take several tries or holding down the keys but you will see and hear when burner lights up. Make sure brakes are off.

Rotate the balloon to control direction using the rudder controls on joy stick or appropriate keyboard commands. Don't overcontrol or balloon will tilt.

Use the throttle to control burn and rates of rise/descent. Also rip vent at top.

Good luck, it takes some practice. Let me know if you are successful
