Balloon Tab also not showing on my game. I have all the prerequisites installed and no kerbalism

installing Filter Extensions - Plugin from Ckan seems to fix the issue of not being able to find the balloon. Just have to search through all the parts to see it.

With or without, it should show.  The filter bar on the left has to be compressed (ie: 1 vertical bar and not 2 bars), and then it should be at the bottom of the category list

I'll see about adding something to FE, if it doesn't have it already

Same issue with the Balloon category not showing.... 
(no kerbalism here either)

I think the Balloons should either:

- Be put into the Utility category 

or

- Made to show up in part search

______________________________________________________________________

Issue resolved by changing category within part cfg file to utility

Also, what happened to the altitude control setting that the previous mod author mentioned?

Those were his "future plans" which I'm not implementing at this time

[JBDoesStuff]

Correct me if I'm being dumb, but I can't find the Balloon category. I do have 161 mods, so that might be the problem, but I doubt anything would conflict. Help?

 nevermind i'm new to CKAN and 95% of my mods are outdated as heck

Is it possible to make a balloon that stays near its maximum altitude without exceeding it and bursting?

Anything is possible

For that, you'd probably want the Airships mod, this was a simple mod and I'm not planning on doing any enhancements on it at this time

[Qazerowl]

This mod is incompatible with Kerbalism due to both of them using the "Atmosphere" resource. I'm sure changing that would break backwards compatibility, but any chance an alternate version could be made where the resource is named something else?

Hey um I can't seem to see the balloon category. What should I do?

 

[Top Gun enjoyer]

I only have a few mods cuz I am kinda (definitely) noob. 

List of mods I have: 

BDarmory and its addon North Kerbin Dynamics

KSP Recall

Modulemanager

Planetary base

MechJeb

and 2 DLCs

Yep thats it!

I came to this thread to search for an answer to this question.. I found it on this very page. Check RB101's comments above you. (I didn't get the category- but more importantly I'm now seeing and able to search the parts)

 

On the previous page there is some info generously provided about adding tags as well

Um what which comment. Btw I don't get how  to use the universal balloon. I went to advanced, find the electric category and found it. but I don't get how to use it. Are there any tutorials on how to use it?

[Top Gun enjoyer]

I don't have kerbalx tho

[UltraJohn]

I think there might be a typo here on line 62. it says 'ize3' instead of 'size3'

[gfdgfherytrey]

how do i deploy balloons?
