Old History and past notes/revisions:



British Obersvation Balloon
by RVW

**This balloon is based off of Pete Hawk's German Obs balloon**

Included you'll find two WWI British Observation Balloons. The ObsBrit one is a flyable aircraft. There really is no cockpit since you are sitting in a basket.

The other one, the ObsballoonB is a placeable MOVING ground object. How the movement is setup in this particular case is this.  Place the balloon in a mission.  Upon mission startup the balloon will pitch and roll over the ground for about 20 seconds before rising to 3000 ft. Here it will stay for 5 minutes (300 seconds), after which it'll take a 2 1/2 minute descent to park and no longer fly. So you could setup a mission where you have x number of minutes to get to it and blast it while it's airborn, otherwise you won't be able to kill it.

Installation...
extract the zip file to your main SDOE directory and all the files will be put in their proper places.

The model uses the Q key which is a canopy toggle. This line MUST be in your keyboard.inp file otherwise the balloon won't work.
