I got a very realistic one a while ago. It automatically activates when I open my front door. Very high resolution, multiplayer game play needs improvement.

You don't need a simulator I think these are the best walking videos on the internet.

There's something very analogue about this site. Relaxing in a way. Thanks for this. (slight improvement for weather effects - they don't always move in the direction of the train)

I don't really get Finland. It says Finland–Helsinki Airport, but the stops say Lempäälä and Toijala. Those are about 150km from Helsinki Airport and there is no direct train between them (Lempäälä/Toijala and Helsinki Airport).

Amusing but I would rather have the seat facing the right way or even better, no cheesy frame/seats; just the footage and audio.

Click the "footage by" link in the bottom corner, the page is just embedding a YouTube video.

The videos are picked off YouTube and run in random directions, left or right.

I agree it's annoying there's no way to toggle the orientation of the chairs though, especially since clicking random 6 times got me 5 videos in the "wrong" direction and only one the right away around.

Not sure if this was AI coded but it seems to grind my browser tab to a halt. Could do with (spending some tokens on) optimization.

How can I select a specific line in a country? I keep getting new (random) lines when I click on the same country again, is there any way to actually choose a specific line?

This is great, heard somebody get fined on a line I took once in France. Just hits the spot!

People that are completely unaware are recognizably in view. Not cool.

Are they in public? Then that's on them.

As an example, UK law: you can legally photograph/video anyone in a public place, without their consent. Limitations to this exist, e.g. if the person feels they're being stalked or harassed, they can complain, and you could be arrested for breach of the peace.

What is illegal is not necessarily immoral, and what is legal is not necessarily moral.

I agree. It’s not hard to blur faces, so why not do it?

Generally speaking it's illegal in EU due to GDPR. The major issue is Article 13. When you obtain personal data directly from data subject (which is what would happen when you record video) you need to give them the information that Article 13 requires.

Basically the only exceptions to this come from Article 23 (which is unlikely to apply) and Article 85. Article 85 covers "journalistic purposes or the purpose of academic artistic or literary expression", but it requires separate law in Member State and these then set out the requirements what actually qualifies under it. The standards for that tend to be much stricter than US' First Amendment (which allows essentially anyone to say that they are press).

The videos are pulled from footage published to YouTube by randoms.

Poland's train is moving backwards; can we get an option to turn the seats around :)

Why are the stops in Germany, but the ticker sign says "somewhere near New York"?
