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.

Hi,
Would it be possible to display the anchor for the timer bar so a person could configure where on the screen they want it to show without having to actually take a flight just so you can move the bar?

Thanks,
Twidget

I'm not sure if InFlight is already doing this, but perhaps you could always have it check itself for the flight times, if the new time is of a lesser value of it's old time, it could update itself. This would then create a fairly autonomous mod that would update itself (after taking the flight) if routes were changed etc.

Can't believe nobody posted this here yet. Does Inflight load on your machines?
Ah, I see now. Since Cartographer_Notes is the second item listed in InFlight's OptionalDeps, it's not properly loaded when expected. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Still, the current version of InFlight should work.

Blizz change the flight paths almost every patch. Moreover, there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of possible flight source-destination combinations. If your saved variables are more complete and up-to-date, please submit.
I'm not sure where or how QH stores it's variables/tables for flight times? If you let me know how, I'll gladly submit them for review.

Also, why is it that the times listed in InFlight are different from Quest Helper's timer - Quest Helper's is usually more accurate.

I've just tested InFlight with Cartographer 2.3.1, and it seems to be working with live. For WotLK beta, there is still no support for the new map zones.

From what I've read, you need to disable POI on the old Cartographer to prevent errors.

I've tried using both the old Cartographer and Cartographer 3 with Inflight, and the flight master icons don't show up on the map anymore. (No errors, just no icons) I miss that feature.

Also, I just want to say thank you for all your hard work on this addon. Quite a few people I know have been using it for awhile and its been nothing but wonderful.
Seems like Cartographer v2.2 is pretty buggy at the moment. It says "NOT WORKING WITH 3.0.2" in the curse description.

I receive this Error when speaking to a Flight Master. Both Cartographer and InFlight are as up to date as I can find.
Which version of Cartographer do you have and where are you getting it from?
