#2Creator 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.

#3The FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.

#4Perhaps this should be submitted under "Show".

#10Commands 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
