Okay so Zyrisk stumbled across this way to fly around using an airboat and only 4 balloons, but after awhile he forgot how much power was required and were. I, (SmurF) tested around and found the power again. Along with the new version of Gmod, there has been alot of good add on mods to Gmod such as Gmod+. We built our airboats with guns and made a cool little mini game.
The Mini Game:
1- Build in airboat that can fly WITHOUT thrusters helping it to LIFT or move FORWARD.
2- Build it so you can attack enemies with it
3- Split up into teams
3a- This is addition to the game if you want to do this too. Build a base with your team.
4- FIGHT!
RULES:
-You may ONLY USE 8 BALLOONS AT MOST to give lift to your airboat
-You may use ONLY 4 THRUSTERS EQUALING 10000 POWER all together
-You CAN NOT use thrusters on the bottom, sides, front, or back of the airboat. Only on the top.
TIPS:
-We suggest that the only weapon that can be allowed to shot an airboat is the airboats gun. The airboats gun does not destroy the balloons, but does hurt the player inside.
-The airboat with gun works alot better then the regular airboat
HOWTO:
1- Spawn Airboat (With gun)
2- Add two balloons to the front at 1067 power (as shown on tutorial.dem)
3- Add two balloons to the back at 1041 (as shown on tutorial.dem)
4- Add two thrusters to the front/top of the air boat at 2500 power.
5-Add two thrusters to the top of the engine at 2500 power.
All of this is shown in the tutorial.dem
