~JD~ MTF sculpted hot air Ballon vehicle
JD MTF hot air Balloon
================
Version: 1.0
The JD MTF hot air Balloon is a unique physical hot-air balloon suited for Second Life. You must see it and (try to) ride the winds in it to understand why.
It is only 29 prims (you just have to see the 1 prim anchor and the 1 prim wheel), it has a beautiful HUD, set of textures for the balloon and a manual or an automatic driving mode. (Oh, and banline detection.)
It's NOT A WEARABLE vehicle. This means that on sim-crossing you have MUCH better chance that your balloon arrives with you! It also puts MUCH LESS stress on the region you are in. (It doesn't have to render hundreds of textures, just a few.)

Spectacular!
This balloon is elegant, tasteful, detailed, and beautiful to behold. Well done!
Totally enjoyable
I really enjoy this product. I fly mainly in Caledon where there are zero ban lines. I found its just a matter of adjusting height to get wind direction sorted. At least thats how it seems to me. Guided navigation is good too. However manual is more challenging. This product takes a while to get used to but it really is worth it. Weldone JD
