Every plane you see in the sky – you can now follow it from the cockpit in 3D

- coolwulf - 266567 sekunder sedanCreator here. I posted Flight-Viz a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47603966) and the feedback was great. Since then I added a cockpit mode that follows any liveflight with real 3D terrain.
How to try it: go to flight-viz.com, click any plane, then click "Cockpit" in the action buttons. You'll get a first-person view wit h real buildings, terrain, atmosphere, and a HUD showing altitude/speed/heading — all driven by live ADS-B data.

A bit of feedback: Clicking exit cockpit goes back to the previous page (in this case this HN thread).
Not sure if just me, but I really had to search hard for the actions under menu and the cockpit button.
- RichardHesketh - 266045 sekunder sedanThe FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.
- sssilver - 1677 sekunder sedanInteresting, I wonder if it would be possible to visualize the most dramatic parts of every flight -- takeoffs and landings.
- matmo - 1821 sekunder sedanWould be nice to pair this with something like FlightRadar where you can see relevant flights in proximity to you and select them.
- grg0 - 2419 sekunder sedanThis is great, smart application of graphics and public data.
- igtumt - 1395 sekunder sedanthis is interesting and how much of the rendering/logic is running in WASM vs JS?
- Chrisszz - 6542 sekunder sedanCommands are not that handy but from someone that has the flying in his heart since he was child I must admit that it's cool to have the cockpit view
- bigfudge - 8967 sekunder sedanIs it possible to pan?
- gorfian_robot - 7983 sekunder sedanI wish it had all the small aircraft not just commercial flights
- vixalien - 4789 sekunder sedanit doesn't seem to show most flights or airports in africa
- metabagel - 265983 sekunder sedanPerhaps this should be submitted under "Show".
