Hi! A wise decision I think, since even the alpha designation might be too optimistic.. ;) However, I encourage anyone that is longing for a quiet balloon trip and isn't put off by having to download the FlightGear 0.9.10 source, apply a patch and then compile the whole thing from source, to give my ZF Navy free-balloon a try - it flies nicely and seems to behave fairly realisticly (though, one should remember that I have never piloted or flown with a balloon so what do I really know). If I have time, I'll see if I can't add some instruments to it tonight, an altimeter, a radio and a clock would probably be nice to have.
