A ball. Very calm and relaxing. Beautiful. Please don't shoot them down. This balloon is not just a Blimp replace.
This is a beta version. I got tired of working on it all for myself and decided to release it as is for now. The mod is not feature-finished, but what's there and done is well polished already. Expect further updates.
Please leave your feedback, bug reports and support requests here in comments or in the mod's topic in our Discord server.
Features:
- The model made from scratch and optimized for game performance;
- A wide range of colorful livery designs;
- Realistic handling to make flying this aircraft an experience of its own kind;
- Custom gas burner flame FX that responds to vehicle speed and damage naturally;
- Ambient events fit seamlessly into the game world: a large-scale balloon airshow above Alamo Sea, tourist attraction flights along Vespucci Beach, and common rides in the Vinewood Hills area;
- The fun doesn't end in the air: during the events spectators, crowded tourists, service vehicles and utilities marking the launch sites can be found nearby;
- FiveM support: the balloon is rated to seat three, but you can try and pack all your friends in the basket for an air raid at the Altruist Camp.
Spawn name:
BALLOON
Installation instructions:
1. Move the w_balloon folder from the archive to [Grand Theft Auto V]\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\;
2. Add dlcpacks:/w_balloon/ to the list inside the [Grand Theft Auto V]\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\dlclist.xml file.
Dependencies:
Improved gameconfig.xml
Heap Adjuster
Packfile Limit Adjuster
Known issues:
- Missing gas burner (engine) sounds. Flying in silence is much more tranquil tho, and you still got the radio.
- Sometimes player snaps to T-pose when flying the balloon, can be solved by ducking. I'm yet to find the cause of this problem.

@w.. You, my friend, are brilliant for making this. You can fly AND they spawn naturally AND you optimized it for performance? I love you, may your days be many and your woes few.
@w.. really like this mod it adds some nice atmosphere to the game
i think it somehow "breaks" the blimp scenarios. the blimp wasnt spawning until i removed the dlc
cool
Very cool but we can't enter in a balloon with the enter key
It reminds me of forza horizon thanks for this mod !
Still waiting for version with balloon sound effects!
@w/ The mod is truly amazing but the scenarios have tight timing limitations in my opinion. The time interval to trigger scenario is too short (3 pm to 7 pm). They are also not set as high priority.
I know flying balloons not something you would see in LA everyday but perhaps for Sandy Shores one High Pri. can be enabled.
Also time to trigger scenarios can be extended 9am to 9pm so they can have a better chance of spawning. New balloons are made to easily overcome morning air pressure and humidity levels so .. they are no longer effected by dense morning fogs anymore.
ok nice
What is the exact generation time of a hot air balloon? Which file can I modify to control its generation frequency
I haven't been able to get the scenarios to work on FiveM, yet. And the ymapping seems to kind of work; at least, none of the car generators are generating vehicles in the ymapping. I've tested the scenarios along side other scenarios I've confirmed are actively running, so, I'm not sure what edits may need to be made for them to work properly..... Could be user error, idk.
@w.. Cool, but when do the scenario thingy's spawn? (at what time and weather.)
I checked every place that was shown in the screenshots, but didn't find them unfortunatly.
Hello, Great mod thanks so much.. however I can't change the view.. If I want first person I have to board the balloon while in 1st person...
@The Majestic Noob the balloon already has some unique sound effects such as altitude warning beeper if going too high. Though it's surely a disappointment that I didn't have time to include proper burner sound effects
@MissySnowie I love your scientific approach to the point haha. It was honestly a difficult choice for me as I really didn't want the balloons to became mundane. For me they spawn nearly every time at Salton if approaching from south, probably because of lower scenario density and the area and processing power available.
That quickly becomes annoying as my desire was to make these shows a really special event. In fact, I would prefer if Vespucci scenarios spawned more often as I imagined them as sort of common tourist attraction with just one-two of them in air at the time to brighten up the horizon, but alas
@skipper00123 yup, that's a known issue. Haven't managed to find the cause of it but the FPV just doesn't seem to work unless you enter the balloon already in it or change it in some very specific conditions. Try spamming the camera button in various places, maybe it'll do the thing.
@That1DutchGuy @JoyLucien it's different for different locations. IIRC for the show at Salton it's around midday to early evening, for Vespucci somewhere from early morning to late midday. Can't give you the exact hours, sorry.
@w.. Oh that makes sense too 😅😅 Indeed them spawning rarely makes them have more unique feeling, and when you see them happen it feels different compared to seeing them a lot 🙈
I was a teeny bit seeing it form personal preference approach, since I really just love the balloons seeing 4-5 of them peacefully flying above always brightens my mood 🙈🙈🥰🥰🥰🎈🎈

@w.. I see the balloons at Vespucci Beach a lot, but i have as of now rarely seen the balloons at Sandy Shores.
have a probleme when i try to spawn one withe the BALLOON i have a cargo plane
Hey your Discord link is broken in your bio. Great work!
@PrinceAlbert thank you! Updated the link too
Why does my character do T-position when boarding a hot air balloon?
Mine doesn't work, I don't know if the mod is somehow wrong. While I did throw in the dlcpack and put it in dlclist
