Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger(inflightsimulator.com)
Buckle your seatbelt, secure your tray table, and open your window shade. Now you can simulate flying anywhere in the world as a commercial passenger, from takeoff to touchdown. Terrain, weather, and realtime sun position included. Don't worry, the latest release now features legs, so you can get up and go to the bathroom on longer flights. Enjoy!

This is really cool! Also, my girlfriend suggested it would be nice if she can login and be on the same flight so we can fly home together.

Had to use uBlockOrigin to remove the login prompt. Think there could be a way to dismiss it without tricks like that.

I just closed the window instead, it wasn't that interesting

That’s a nice idea. Taking off from Frankfurt am Main felt like that ultra long runway in Fast & Furious 6 though.

Selfie mode was too funny these characters are ridiculous. Also a whole plane to myself? What a steal!

Except if you're the main character of a plot !

I like how much work you've put into just being a passenger :) I'm building a little world in the browser myself, so I like finding projects like this.

I was hoping for a very detailed menu with more flight avionics in the in flight entertainment screen but I guess the speed and altitude in the HUD is all I get. I want to know the exact plane T am flying in

Ah, it's flying Paris to Bogota in a 1 aisle, 4 seats per rank regional plane, pretty unusual if you ask me :)

Can't press the Continue button, because the footer overlaps it. Firefox on mobile.

It's very nicely done. I snapped the seatbelt on and that dread of a long boring flight automatically hit me. :)
