whats wrong with just manipulating player.z?

True.

Is there any lag or drop in frame rate from this massive scalling?

I was wondering this. When you are taking off do other players see it to a certain height?

When will this be out, we plan on adding this "flying technology" to shangri-la.We have alot of flying objects such as planes,Ships and HotAir Balloons.This would make shangri-la all the more awsomeness then it already is.

Or how about making the entire floating island airborn? :rolleyes:

It's probably going to be a shadow you see on the ground.

This Flying idea isn't a big thing. They have something that's exactly like this, that A LOT of the players forgot about, It's on Dustari island. You build it with some wood and animal skins, and you make yourself a Zeplin thing, in which you're able to fly from Dustari to the Main Island, and others. The only thing was, you couldn't drop bombs from it, and players could destroy it while your were flying.

That thing is poo, it goes like 0.0001mph and hovers about 1m off the floor, this new ballooning thingy is brilliant, I've tested it and trust me its much better then it looks on that video

Whatever. :p It still practically achieves the same thing. Flying.

Just curious, (Too lazy to read past posts) how do you recive this balloon? Do you build it or buy it?

Probably build it, will probably prepare this for christmas :)

Sounds good.

I'm going to check it out. :p

One more question, won't it make GK Laggy? Espicially for the players who can't handle it already. I'm sure a lot of people will be owning these balloons the second it comes out.

will this zoom thing for the ballon work on PW's?

How far from releasing the technology?

just 3 words GIVE ME IT ;) lol its really awsome

How would it make GK lag? Lag and framerate are not the same thing.
