World Photographer - Hot Air Balloons

Hi everybody!

Me and two other players, so the three of us, we are searching for other players to help us out to get the stars in World Photographer mode for the Hot Air Balloons.

We just need 2 or 3 other players to help us out. This should be done in minutes if you understand how it works.

You need a mic!

We get into Discord and communicate thru Discord, so Mic is must! (must have mic)

These are the 3 missions we go for:

We go into Discord chat and explain everything.

We go for these. Just change time and date in your Windows and you get it.

Who is up? I’m gonna create every week until I find enough crazy people like me who wanna do this :smiley:

6 Juni 6:00 PM Pacific Time is 3:00 AM Central European Time (CET) the following morning in The Hague.

Since you might be planning across time zones, here is how that exact Pacific Time moment breaks down globally:

  • Pacific Time (PT): 6:00 PM

  • Eastern Time (ET): 9:00 PM

  • Amsterdam/The Hague: 3:00 AM (next day)

  • London: 2:00 AM (next day)

So again, these can be done just by adjusting your time and date on your computer in the windows settings.

Just cahnge time on your computer back to 2025 October and take photo and then change back time to normal again.

That’s how it works, so we just need 2 more players and we can do this. Afterwards everybody gets his turn to do this.

Afterwards if others need it we can do these, what needs multiplayer:

So afterwards we can do these if other need these. I got these already, but if other need help I’m willing to stay. But the main purpose of this is the hot air balloon photo’s.

So please help, just 2 / 3 more players who want to get this done!

  • Pacific Time (PT): 6:00 PM

  • Eastern Time (ET): 9:00 PM

  • Amsterdam/The Hague: 3:00 AM (next day)

  • London: 2:00 AM (next day)

Beautiful as) I just haven’t learned how to use a balloon.

You don’t need to use it. Just use slew :slight_smile: I used it for the animal photos. Balloons don’t make them run off.

slew? To be honest, I understood what you meant.

Did you mean you did not understand? Here’s a video that explains it if that’s what you mean. If you know how to use it - it makes photography easy! You can perfectly position aircraft with little effort and they stay there without having to pause and un-pause. It also allows you to skim along the ground searching for animals in an open balloon at several hundred kmh.

We’re talking about a hot air balloon.

Yep, slew works the same with it as with an aircraft.

I’m just not a fan of hunting animals) and photographing them, but thank you in advance)

Oh that’s fine. It’s just super useful for anything. For example placing an aircraft/balloon at a certain spot. It’s fine if you don’t want to use it. It’s not realistic for instance, but it it sure makes most of the photography much easier.

I will 100% be there. Thanks for setting this up RoachClipNL! Unfortunately, I’m one of the 3 you included in the “already in” list, so we still need more people to join us! :slight_smile: Please - anyone at all interested in this - or just interested in helping out a couple suffering achievement hunters - please join us!!

As noted elsewhere in this thread you DO NOT need to know how to fly a balloon or glider to do these. Look at the video about “slew mode” (PC: Shift-Z, then WASD/QE and IJKL for moving your balloon or glider around the screen). We can walk you through how to do it in Discord live, if you prefer. Thanks!

Thanks. I just edited the post and added the “create event”. So now you can see the event and people can join it. So you can click if you are going, interested or not going. So if everybody could please click if they are going, that maybe helps to attract more players :slight_smile:

If you are on PC you can use developer mode in free flight and add the animals in :slight_smile: On xbox I don’t know if that is possible. On PS5 I think they don’t have Developer mode.

So in the end, you don’t even have to fly :slight_smile: you can put all the animals in and they won’t run away :smiley:

These 100 stars should be piece of cake using slew mode, position your plane, set the right time and date, take photo and up to the next one etc. But that you do solo of course.

I just want to focus on the photos that needs multiplayer (at least one other player). Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are 6 photos that needs one or more players. The 3 photos with hot air balloons and the other 3 (A-10, Glider, and Nusatupe Airport.)

My first intention is the hot air balloons, cause I have the other 3 photo’s already. But I’m always willing to help others with the 3 other photo’s. Now that we are together, two birds with one stone :slight_smile:

If everything goes smoothly this all should only take minutes. I set 3 hours for the event, but this is just random time I put in, again, should take less than 1 hour, literally minutes If we can get connected together and see each other right away without trouble.

So yeah, I hope for some good fun and talks, and we can always help if you have trouble with some other pictures. When I play with my friend, we just share screens in Discord, so you can easily help eachtother out.
