How to read it

What you are looking at

Real time by default

One second of flight per second, which is how the crew had to take it. The faster settings pull the camera back, because at speed it outruns the imagery.

Buildings at the stops

OpenStreetMap carries building geometry only from zoom 13. The camera drops to that at every landing, which is where the record was won anyway.

Altitude, compressed

Cruise reads 11,000 ft, the one published height. The aircraft is drawn below its true altitude so it stays in frame above the ground.

Real light

The sun position is computed for the place and the moment, so darkness in the replay is darkness the crew actually flew in.
