InFlight   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
InFlight is a simple flight timer mod. It simply serves as a lightweight alternative to other flight mods that does the same thing; in most cases, InFlight will do a lot less (which is the main motivation behind InFlight).


Current Features:
  • Take-off confirmation
  • Many customization options for the look of the timer bar
  • Notes support for Cartographer_Notes and HandyNotes
  • Support for Druid-only, Plaguewood Tower, and other special flight paths (needs localization data for non enUS clients)
  • Already has most of the default data; automatically adds or updates new data
  • Colors which flights locations are known/unknown (data is only updated if it shows up on the taxi window when opened)


How to Use:
  • InFlight is LoadOnDemand to avoid loading bulk when not needed
  • InFlight_Load is required for InFlight to work, but InFlight_Load does not require InFlight
  • InFlight_Load also handles/saves Cartographer_Notes and HandyNotes data. You may delete the "InFlight" folder if you do not care about flight timer and just want the location icons.
  • "/inflight", right-click on the timer bar, or check interface options to customize
  • Shift left-click and drag to move the timer bar


How to Contribute:
  • Updating flight times data - submit the file .../WTF/Account/<Account Name>/SavedVariables/InFlight.lua here
  • Updating detection of special flights (only repeatable ones): report the gossip text (text you click to start the flight) and the location text above your minimap
  • Updating flightmaster locations: either report the zone with x/y coordinates of the flightmaster or submit .../WTF/Account/<Account Name>/<Realm>/<Char name>/SavedVariables/InFlight_Load.lua


Features That Won't Be Implemented, So Don't Ask:
  • Saving flight costs data (Do you need to know if you have to walk instead?)
  • Detailed tooltips and connect-the-dots
  • I recommend FlightMap as a superior alternative (especially if you want any of the above).


Recently, I had some requests for donation info, so here it is. Do not feel obligated; donations (or lack of) will not determine what features I do or do not implement.

Yeah, sorry... I figured that out like right after I posted the question.

I'm a loser >.<

Is there maybe an option to turn off the timer so I can still have flight confirmation and Cartographer Waypoints created by IF?

::edit:: Duh... uncheck "Fill Up".
Now I'll just disable QH's timer.

MapNotes seems to be only going thru fan updates. Well, none of the map mods are really maintained, but Cartographer and HandyNotes are developer friendly.

I choose to upload to and handle suggestion from one site. I have to try to stay sane when dealing with WoW users.

Thank you for authoring and maintaining this addon. I enjoy using this addon a great deal. Please allow WoWMatrix to distribute this addon. I feel that I understand some of the conflicts of the past; Yet, I think you might be pleasantly surprised with how their program works now. I feel that the issues from the past might be irrelevant now. I think that you might disregard this comment, and others like it, but I feel that it is important to give feedback. Thank you again for your time and energy.

Hi, I've been using Inflight for a long time and I love it (can't imagine how I got on without it).

I recently switched from Cartographer when I saw how much addon spam it was generating (using AddonSpamFu), and I was wondering if it would be possible to have Inflight made compatible with Mapnotes (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...ns-update.aspx).

Thank you for all your work on this addon. <3

Ok, how 'bout a way to disable the flightpoints-on-map feature, so I can have something like EWOlsen_PointsOfInterest take over that job?

How do I get all flight times to show?

Greetings,

just recently I discovered InFlight and like its simplicity. However, on my German World of Warcraft client, some of the flight points don't have or don't show flight times. I've checked the routes and InFlight's files. For me playing a Horde character, I've seen routes in Kalimdor being affected. Flights to and from ...
  • Marshal's Refuge
    In Defaults.lua, the flight point is incorrectly named Marshalls Zuflucht, whereas the game spells it Marschalls Zuflucht. Note the c inbetween s and h.
  • Bloodvenom Post
    Defaults.lua doesn't have its German name Blutgiftposten. Even if I manually add it and delete the two comments dashes, flights to and from Bloodvenom Post don't show their flight times.
  • Zoram'gar Outpost
    Even though Defaults.lua is saved as a UTF-8 file, the outpost's German name Au?enposten von Zoram'gar is misspelled. The question mark in there is actually meant to be an ß ("sharp s") special character. I figured I could just replace the question mark with the sharp s and be done. However, flight times still didn't show for Zoram'gar Outpost. I saw other strings using UTF codes and tried the sharp s' code \195\159 to no avail.
One of InFlight's great features seems to be its ability to auto-record flight times once you've used a path. I've done that at least for the connections from Orgrimmar to those three flight points, but other paths to and from Zoram'gar Outpost, Bloodvenom Post and Marshal's Refuge still don't show flight times.

Long story short, how can I get InFlight to automatically show flight times for those paths and those on other continents, short of flying each and every combination myself?

Greetings,

Sven

Okay, so, minor request (or, maybe not so minor) ... any chance that the HandyNotes integration (and presumably cartographer, etc) could get the names of the various flight points associated with them? Right now a mouseover of them on the map just gives "flight point" ... and some of them aren't clearly labelled on the map otherwise, which is a pain for those of us that don't know the world too well!

Just a thought, anyhow. And two thumbs up for the continued support of a genuinely useful addon!
