I was thinking of the game Outrun in the Red Ferrari driving around SF.

#22Ahh wow this is awesome! Is there a way to deep link to a lat/long?

#23Very amazing. And this is the worst it will ever be. We'll soon be exploring 4k versions of this and we can open every trash can in Tunis. Fascinating. Had a lot of fun (tedious tho) going out to Alcatraz and figuring out how to get in.
> Had a lot of fun (tedious tho) going out to Alcatraz Curious, did you use a vehicle/glider, or did you take the heel-toe express all the way there?
You can activate flying mode by double-jumping and crank the speed up with +.

#24This is insanely awesome man; I turned the entire SF gov into an AI Gov. but this has really humbled me; great work dude.

#25Chrome on MacOS: largely unusable (over fiber); POV stuck and will not move except in a tiny area.
I don't mind the lazy asset loading; I just can't go anywhere outside a couple blocks from the start position. M3 MBA.

#26Will try on my Mac. On my iPhone, I got the spinner wheel for a while and my phone started getting hot, so I killed it.

#28Kinda funny game, though if you want a bit more fidelity, but less control, Microsoft Flight Simulator has a pretty good version of SF. Though as for games that use SF (but not 1:1) Watch Dogs 2 is a pretty good proxy, though my favorite video game interpretation of San Francisco is from GTA San Andreas (San Fierro)
Very impressed with the Watch Dogs series of games for this purpose.
We recently used Watch Dogs Legion to prep for a trip to London to get more familiar with the city. Set the game on peaceful mode and just walked around and did virtual sight-seeing instead of playing missions. It's a surprisingly good recreation of the city, and we really appreciated getting some familiarity with the place before we visited.

Not bad, though based on the screenshot Lake Merritt in Oakland looks not to scale.
