There is this very creative UT2004 mode that I used to play – ludocraft.oulu.fi/airbuccaneers/. Players basically pilot around hot air balloons and try to shoot each other with cannons.
The community seems to have died a bit, but I put up a server at 140.247.62.101:8777 , and will leave it up for as long as necessary to get people back! Please comment here if you want to play the game.
I’ll give it a try.
Okay, I installed and I played it; But I have no I idea how to play…
How do I steer the air balloons (mainly, how do I go forward and backward?)?

Hi there,
The balloons go forward by themselves at a constant rate – you just steer and you can also perform certain maneuvers. If you’d like, we can try to get on and play together sometime.
I was just randomly googling around for “AirBuccaneers” and noticed this blogpost. I know this post is almost a year old, but since you set up a server for the original mod I thought you’d be interested about this. There’s a new updated version of AirBuccaneers on the works. It’s called AirBuccaneers HD and more info on it can be found in http://www.airbuccaneers.com.
That’s extremely cool. I think I was looking for people to play ABu with for several months. Hope this new mod revives the community!
