  • Abstract:
  • This paper introduces SkyVision, a web-based flight simulator made to enhance the flight simulation experience virtually using minimal and light-weight, open-source technologies. Unlike traditional simulators, SkyVision operates entirely through web browser without any extensive data downloads or premium graphics and software. Thus, making it accessible to all the aviation enthusiasts without requiring powerful hardware. By integrating the OpenWeather API for real-time weather information and the MapBox API for 3D maps, our simulator provides realistic and dynamic information about the area. This work provides a cost-effective and simple solution with a user-friendly interface, hence a better alternative to existing simulators by reducing complexity and thus obliterating the requirement for large data sets.
