Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger

    You know what? I had fear of flying. I did a training with a pilot in a simulator, but it was in the cockpit. I don't have fear of flying in a simulator or in the cockpit. I have fear of flying as a passenger, I'm sit in a chair. That's what I would have liked during my training. I told that to Air France and they did not understand but this might seriously be useful.

      Interesting, thanks for the idea. Would be pretty cool if this app did have some real-world applications, beyond being a bit of a meme app. Thanks for the comment!

        This is going to sound insane, but something like this for the backseats of various common, and maybe even exotic, cars would be cool too.

        I have similar problems being a passenger in an uber for more than 15 mins. I lose my mind on roadtrips when it's not my turn to drive.

          Not at all! Cars are an extremely common trigger for anxiety. You are far from alone in this.
