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

Or you could check out the non-vibe coded Airplane Mode from 2020:

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.

Crashed within 10 seconds on iPhone 17 Pro. Love the vibes

Hahaha this is awesome. I can teach what it's like to be on an airplane to my friend who has never flown before.

Currently playing on my usual route, ICN -> HKG. The flight path is too ideal. Due to airspace restrictions in china, almost every flight has to divert over taiwan in real life, but this one cuts thru mainland china.

3 overhead reading lights for a 2-2 configuration? On a trans pacific flight? Literally unplayable.

Would love to see this open source and extended!

Please remove the login screen. Is love to try this.

Seems to hate not having location access on iOS. Keeps refreshing until eventually Safari just gives up.

I asked for beef, they only had chicken. 10/10, average flight experience.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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. :)

Is this visual style Fable or Astra. I see it everywhere now. It’s the new black and purple

Genius doesn’t always look like you expect it will. Well done!

(Kill the login panel though —- it wouldn’t go away for me)

I love that this is in real time and this jokes :D Even we have chess game :3

Missing FCA (Glacier international airport in Kalispell, Montana, USA).

It's small but a beautiful flight!

Flying to NYC, sitting next to nobody, never happened to me before :) - see you in 4h

really wish i could sit by the window

Next up: Airport Simulator! Enjoy security, customs, and the inevitable panic of missing your gate across more than 50 international airports around the world!

I'd pay $1 to upgrade to first class. $2 if I get a hot towel, a pre-departure beverage, and warm nuts.

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

Now if we can watch fresh movies, that would be ideal …

haha this is fun!

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