# Cesium Flight Tracker

To run the demo:

1. Clone and open this repository.

My demo uses an aircraft model that can be found here:

Feel free to use your own model :grinning:

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 is the guide from Cesium

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