MY balloon model is still there and should still work - with the same limitation it had from the beginning: it can only move up and down. Moving sidewards (e.g. due to wind) is possible and the direction and amount is calculated, but I don't know the correct API calls to convert the linear movement to a change in lat/lon. It also has the "problem" that it's hardwired to the WeatherCM code. But it should be easy to replace the calls to WeatherCM with property lookups.
