Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger
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!

Nice. Waiting eagerly for the "crying baby" extension pack. The "get to your seat" MMO. And the "I want to pee, but the guy next to me is sleeping" campaign. Also, inflightsimulator: 1980, with ashtrays and lethal weapon playing on dropdown TV sets

You know what? I had fear of flying. I did a training with a pilot in a simulator, but it was in the cockpit. I don't have fear of flying in a simulator or in the cockpit. I have fear of flying as a passenger, I'm sit in a chair. That's what I would have liked during my training. I told that to Air France and they did not understand but this might seriously be useful.

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.

Pretty cool! I could see leaving it up on another screen to enjoy while I go about my workday.
