Does anybody know how to untether the basket if you select the option to start with it tethered? I cant find the key binding.

Didn’t know that was an option? Where is that

It’s under the assistance options; there’s one for balloons to start with the basket moored.

Like Grumbly, though, I haven’t found a way to untether when using this option.

Würde gern mehr wissen, wie Richtungsänderungen und sonstige Funktionen.

Cool ist auch das Aussteigen nach der Landung sowie die menschliche Fortbewegung mit “W”
