You can see it At my Store in Dreamfall
INTRODUCTION:
Phoebe was built as an excursion vehicle for the Selene Cloud Hugger craft, but after getting a lot of positive feedback from my friends, I decided to put it up for sale separately.
I tried to tune the engine as much as possible for stability and responsiveness. Even though this vehicle is physical, it will stay upright in most situations. Its also very gentle and forgiving to the pilot, making it an excellent cruiser for you and up to 4 of your friends.

OPERATING THE AIRSHIP:
Rezz the ship, right click it and pick "Fly" from the pie menu. Once seated, the ship's engine will automatically engage.
To control the ship use keyboard. Press "A" or "D" key to turn left or right, "W" or "S" to move forward or back, "E" or "C" to move Up or Down. While not in mouse look mode, you can also hold shift+A or shift+D to strafe left or right.
You can adjust the Speed factor of the Phoebe from 1 to 4 (default is 1). While seated, either click on the Phoebe, click "Speed" on the dialog that follows, then select a number from 1 to 4, or type "/1 speed" (without quotes) where speed is a number from 1 to 4
Phoebe comes with a set of menus accessible only by the driver. While riding it, click on the hull Phoebe. The menus should be self explanatory.
Phoebe can sit up to 4 passengers; the seats are arranged along the top (2 mushroom like seats) and also the two beams running alongside.
The default seat order is front seat, back seat, left and right beam. If you or your passenger want to pick a particular seating spot, simply right click either a beam or a cushion and "sit" on it.
If you acquire an unwanted passenger while flying, click on Phoebe and pick "Unsit" then pick their name from the menu. This will unsit them from the vehicle.
Phoebe comes with a built in parachute dispenser (the parachute is by Cubey Terra and is included with his permission). Click on the leg below the balloon (above the engine casing) and you'll be given a parachute. Simply find it in your inventory and "attach it". The parachute will deploy around 80m above the ground.
To enable group access (so that your friends can fly it):
- make sure you and your friend(s) are wearing same group tag; rezz Phoebe with that group tag also.
- sit on Phoebe, touch the menu, go to options then pick "Group On", then stand up. Your friend should be able to fly it now.
Amazing work, well done
I am purchasing airships for a story game I am putting together, and this one won. It's versatile, supports multiple people, and speedy. My only quibble is that it has a tendency to drift upwards if you aren't totally in control of it at all times - but it's a balloon! That makes sense that it does. The scripts in this baby are perfect and do not make you seasick.
WOW! I have always been a fan of Carrah Rossini's work, such as the Dreamliner, and the Neriede, but this first physical vehicle I have seen from her was love at first sight (and flight) to me. The textures and scripting have all the richness and polish that I expect from her. The handling is also wonderful. It swoops, and wooshes, and zooms with smooth gracefulness. The particles and sounds also greatly enhance the experience. The controllable camera angles are a nice touch too, such fun to watch yourself soaring about from a distant viewpoint! I always expect the best from Carrah, and she always exceeds that expectation! Snap one of these up today!
