- I'm currently flying at Mach 10 on a custom call sign, breaking all kinds of barriers on a single heading. I cannot be stopped.

- Creator 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.

- This is so impressive, love it!
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.

- The FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.
- Interesting, I wonder if it would be possible to visualize the most dramatic parts of every flight -- takeoffs and landings.
- Would be nice to pair this with something like FlightRadar where you can see relevant flights in proximity to you and select them.
- This is great, smart application of graphics and public data.
- this is interesting and how much of the rendering/logic is running in WASM vs JS?
- Commands 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
- Is it possible to pan?

- I wish it had all the small aircraft not just commercial flights
- it doesn't seem to show most flights or airports in africa

- Perhaps this should be submitted under "Show".

- Love this. How do you modify the flight number?
