Yeah I just saw this on discord hehe.  Probably not for me but this would be the first hot air balloon in a sim?

Probably the first proper simulation of one at least...

MSFS2020, 24, Fenix A320,  Ryzen 9 9950X3D, ASUS TUF RTX 5090 ,G.SKILL 64GB 6000MHz CL28

A lovely idea but I don't think I would use it more than once. 

 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2  - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

A balloon? No thanks, the 152 is slow enough if I want something really slow 🙂

I hope they gave a preview version to AirForceProud

Haha it has LittleNavMap support, nice.

Pah!  This is just a load of hot air!

Sorry, somebody had to say it first.  :unsure:

For $15, I might just try it for its novelty value.  Will it be AI in the sim also?  That would be great to see loads of these going up in the morning over a park etc.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Welcome to MSFS Steam Edition. LOL!!!!

Could be a very serene (and slow) way to take in the great scenery MSFS has to offer.

A Blimp would be more interesting. 

No joke, this actually would be pretty fun. I wouldn't pay a lot even for a high-fidelity blimp, but as something to have in the hangar for an occasionally fly-about, this could be a good time.
