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).

YouTube Intro

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.

Possible but not going to happen until there is a better dropdown menu solution.

Seems to be fixed, now. Took a trip from Astranaar to Auberdine, then back, while tabbed out both ways. Registers the correct flight time both ways.(Or, at least, not an exaggerated time!) Note - This is with InFlight 3.3.004

Nice one. Yeah, due to WoW stopping all timer updates while alt-tabbed, the timer may record the wrong data. Right now, I have no idea how to fix it.

Feature request

it would be a good feature to be able to turn the bar on/off without having to disable the addon entirely. Some flights you want to hide as much of the UI as possible, without having to completely hide it with alt+Z. I could do the same with the Addon Control Panel, but it would be easier from within the addon. Thanks

InFlight POI feature depends on either HandyNotes or Cartographer2. Flight times can change, but in your case, you probably took a flight with a missing connection (unlearned flight master) that sent you on a long detour.

It doesn't say it's InFlight, but the problem goes away if I revert one version.
The error occurs if I'm in flight form or in a flight when I take a random daily accept.
