Photorealistic flight simulator in 1 HTML file

Packaging photorealistic city flyovers into one downloadable HTML demo is the project's killer move — instant launch, no account, and a surprisingly complete HUD with instrument readouts and selectable aircraft. It's clearly engineered for spectacle (fast streaming tiles/shaders and in-browser audio) and works as a demo of what's possible on the web; what it doesn't yet sell as are deep flight physics, multiplayer, or long-form persistence, so treat it as a technical showpiece with real play value.
