When you push the "vent hydrogen" button then the balloon loses altitude and at the same time turns counterclockwise
When you push the "drop ballast" button then the balloon gains altitude and at the same time turns clockwise

Imagine a Cartesian coordinate system
Let's say you want to land at (0,0)
You go somewhere at (5,-5) and push "vent hydrogen" a few times

Hope that helps

: I'm playing the old DOS India Jones and the Fate of Atlantis game, and I'm really stuck trying to control the balloon to get it to go & land where I want. Can anyone help? With the changes in direction with every change in ballast, I'm lost and ready to quit.

: Thanks in advance.
