Inflight Simulator - Experience Flight as a Passenger
Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger
Inflight Simulator flips the traditional flight sim on its head: instead of piloting, you're a passenger on an Explorer jet. Choose from hundreds of real airports worldwide, from Copenhagen to Honolulu, and enjoy a relaxing journey with ambient audio like takeoff jazz. The web-based experience loads detailed aircraft and textures, letting you start near your location or pick any origin. It's perfect for aviation enthusiasts, frequent flyers missing the skies, or anyone seeking a calming virtual escape. No flight controls, no stress—just sit back and enjoy the ride.
I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger—where do you want to fly to?

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

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.

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.

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!
