No objectives. No score. Just the open sky and the earth scrolling beneath you. Pick a runway and land, trace a river, draw shapes in the clouds — or simply fly.
Take off →A flight simulator with no destination, no score, and no stress.
Cosy Flight is a simple browser game where you pilot a plane over real OpenStreetMap geography. Throttle up, pick a heading, and go wherever the world takes you. The instrument panel shows your speed, heading, flight level, throttle, and position — nothing more than you need.
Try aligning with a runway and stopping before the threshold. Follow a motorway across a country. Enable the trail and draw your initials in the sky. Or find Charles de Gaulle and attempt to taxi through the terminals.
Choose what airplane you want to fly, choose a departure airport, or specify the exact coordinates (see Parameters).
Tweak and improve Cosy Flight to your heart's content — the simulator is released under the GPLv3 license. Source code is available on Codeberg.
How to run Cosy Flight
First, download Cosy Flight from the project's repository. You need a web server to run Cosy Flight. If you don't have a web server, or you want to run Cosy Flight locally, you can either use Python's built-in server (provided Python is installed on your machine) or install and use something like miniserve.
If you do have a web server, simply copy the entire Cosy Flight directory into the document root of the server. That's all there is to it.
