Cesium Flight Tracker

To run the demo:

1. Clone and open this repository.
2. Install NPM using npm install
3. Install Cesium using npm install cesium
4. npm run
5. npm start

My demo uses an aircraft model that can be found here: https://www.cgtrader.com/items/662998/download-page

Feel free to use your own model 😀

To update the aircraft model, upload the new model to Cesium ion and edit this line of code in flight.js:

const airplaneUri = await Cesium.IonResource.fromAssetId(YOUR_ASSET_ID_HERE);

Here are some images:

Here is the guide from Cesium https://cesium.com/docs/tutorials/build-a-flight-tracker/

CloudCollection was recently added to the CesiumJS API. I would love to enhance this demo by adding clouds.
