Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window. (lemmy.ml)

Like, I'm on a plane. I don't want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

Sometimes there's a map, but I wish it had landmarks. Is that cluster of lights in the distance Chicago or Salt Lake? Sorry, the map only shows the origin and destination cities.

I was on an international flight recently and the map was great. It had an sorts of zoom and different visualizations with landmarks. Really good. Only downside was realizing we were passing something cool and I couldn't see it because no window.
