    Crashed within 10 seconds on iPhone 17 Pro. Love the vibes

      ahhh your phone crashed! I was a bit confused for a moment... Could you imagine if the airplane crashed like 1 in every million plays?! :O

      Looks amazing for the 2 seconds before it implodes on iPhone though.

      You have to turn on airplane mode

      It uses too much RAM, it’s vibe coded so makes sense

        well, actually I had tested in iphone and did some things to but back on mesh size & also streaming terrain so that I'm not overrendering textures. I have not tested on all devices as I only have one mobile device. The tradeoff is render quality - maybe I'll make a lower triangle or 2K texture mode?

      It's slow in FF, too. Cool for a flight simulator to crash, but it should simulate a plane crash. Not crash the simulator itself :)

        Immediately crashes my FF on Windows 11.
