[]Mod is a WIP.

]I tried to make the balloon feel as smooth and realistic as possible. If you want to mess around with some settings, then you'll need the configuration file. There are no limits to the settings. - I am trying to get animations working along with correct seat position, but it's kind of difficult at the moment.
