In this video I am attempting to control a Spy Balloon that I have modded into the start of the first level of BW1.

In he xml file for the level I changed the target of the chase camera to the ID of the spy balloon I added by copying an existing spy balloon (AirVehicle object that uses the AirVehicleBase 550008123) and changing the ID of the object to something unique. Also changed the unit flag of the AirVehicleBase which the spy balloon belongs to to the same unit flag as the grunt unit you start with, and made all enemy air vehicles belong to WesternFrontier instead of TundranTerritories. The result is that the balloon flies around randomly to the sides, but cannot be reliably controlled besides trying to target units on the ground and changing the camera.

in BW1, vehicles usually need a passenger who controls the vehicle, but the other spy balloons in the level have no passenger and still manage to move, so I am not sure if the spy balloon can be controlled by the player. There might be something I am missing.
