I dont know if im doing this right but the pod keeps falling like a rock

Alright! This is very encouraging! I will give it another go. If you are both getting results then it's obviously me who is not doing it right. Somestimes it's great to ne wrong :) Like I said, I like Neutex's stabilising system it has a lot of applications. Working on my most ambitious build right now. Vid out tomorrow night.

That's strange, because the 13 value balloon in my Instant Win Machine still works. I built a small test machine that just had a couple ballasts, grabbers, and a balloon, and I was able to get a 1000 level balloon to stay intact with the grabbers on the sides.

Something else I've noticed is that the stings on hyper-inflated balloons elongate a lot more now. So your balloons without grabbers might be going up to the freeze level and popping, depending on how high you have them set.

I've discovered that you also could start the simulation at 5% so the grabbers have time to grab the balloon before it files away. The grabbers work per frame and not by time. After the grab, just set the speed up again.

Thanks Ross.I tried dropping the the slider levels in another build that used no grabbers and they popped everytime! I reverted to using neg value airblocks in the end. shame, I like the balloons stabilising effect

I figured out what's causing the problem. Since Unity 5 has more processing power, it starts doing physics calculations right away in the simulation, without the initial delay the Unity 4 engine had. So right at the start, the super-buoyant balloons accelerate upward into the grabbers and pop, before the grabbers have a chance to grab them.

There are two ways I can think to solve this: you can use more balloons at lower settings (You can still go a lot higher than 1.50), or you can have the balloons gripped from the sides rather than above.

Best of luck! :steamhappy:

Doesn't work. I need to figure out a replacement for the ballons as the bsg edits don't work anymore!!

Does it work after the update? If it does, it shoudn't be a problem playing it at 100%
