Impressive. I'm imagining the simulator being useful for emergency training. Like they have run out of the salmon in First Class and only have chicken left. Or the kid sitting between you and their parent has just thrown up--on you. But it needs security screening, baggage checkin, delayed flights, drunk passengers. Ah the joys of airline flight. Maybe all that could be added and Zoom could sponsor the game :-)

#202Wow, this is so unbelievably unoptimized. The sound of my computer fans makes it so immersive. The shadow map is being rendered twice with 300+ draw calls and 1M+ triangles. Full resolution GTAO is probably even more expensive with a lot of fetches per texel. I'm sure there are a ton of low hanging optimization fruits and I'm confident claude et. al can fix all those issues, but if you don't know where to look and ne…
Did the product manager look at this before it was released? We have a lot of work to do here! We need to create a sprint for optimizing it, otherwise no one will like it. Be sure to put the texel fetches in a user story. This should be top priority. Lots of users are very angry.

Chill out and have some fun

#203This is so cool! For someone unfamiliar with modern game design but interested in building something similar, how did you get the assets such as the seats for the game? Are they open source, vibe-coded or made by hand? Would also be curious what the underlying game engine is, or any other details you wouldn't mind providing. Thanks!

#204my flight crashed... due to lack of memory i assume, brave browser. surprizingly little existential terror as it went down. i was quite brave about it

#205I like how much work you've put into just being a passenger :) I'm building a little world in the browser myself, so I like finding projects like this.
*how much work Claude put in. The UI is a dead giveaway.

#207I think the menu shouldn't freeze when it's loading
Funny I don't think there is a fast forward button? guess that's realistic ha

#208Please add the ability to sit in a window seat. It'd be awesome to also be able to pick a seat.
Also, the login UI is annoying, it'd be nice if it was hidden by default.
Another thing that might be fun to add is to see if you can get a data feed of filed routes used by airliners for the chosen route and fly that route instead of simply flying direct.

#209Bug: I can't seem to make any overhead announcements over the PA.

#210Started cool. But kept crashing (not in the fun way).
