InFlight  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 10.0.25
by: totalpackage, R_X, Uitat

InFlight is a simple taxi flight timer mod that lets you know how long it will take to get to your destination. Other mods may provide a similar feature, however, InFlight is a lightweight alternative that, in most cases, is leaner, faster and uses a lot less memory (which is the main motivation behind InFlight).
Classic version here

Click here to lend your support!

Features:

  • Take-off confirmation
  • Many customization options for the look of the timer bar
  • Support for Druid-only and some other special flight paths
  • Already has most flight times
  • Learns new flight times or updates existing flight times when taxis are used
  • Flight times added to tooltip on flight map
How to Use:
  • InFlight is LoadOnDemand to use less memory when not needed
  • '/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 '<WoW_Folder>/_retail_/WTF/Account/<Account_Name>/SavedVariables/InFlight.lua'
  • 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 or adding translations for a language
Features That Won't Be Implemented, So Don't Ask:
  • Detailed tooltips and connect-the-dots
  • Show known/unknown Flight Masters on map

Any update on the Classic version? Would really love to know the flight-times in order to do stuff during those efficiently.

Thanks!

Asking for clarification about something and having a polite discussion isn't even remotely close to "demanding an explanation", but I'm sorry you took it that way. Thank you for the change though!

I asked the addon author and they're not willing to change it. I noticed that ElvUI does the same thing, presumably others do too. I asked in this thread and it looks like you could put a ! in front of the addon folder name and toc file to make sure your hooks are added before those functions are localized, but I'm not sure what other side effects that would have. (Plus I'm a programmer and that seems hacky and annoying to me.)

Thank you for your time, really appreciate it!

The addon is Azerite UI. I asked on their Discord server, waiting to hear back.

Explanation from Globe page (at the very bottom of the warnings page).
Keeping long-lived local references to API functions is inadvisable.
The warning is included when a localized reference to a WoW API function is used as an upvalue in a function.
This pattern breaks external hooks. If necessary for performance reasons, consider acquiring a new reference immediately prior to use rather than on addon load.

Good point, sorry, it does work properly when InFlight is the only addon enabled. I figured out that the bug happens when my UI addon is enabled. Not sure which addon is doing something wrong (I assume one is), I can open an issue with them.

Meaning, the time InFlight gave was 4:09 for Tournament --> Brigade, but the time from Tournament --> Zim'Torga was actually 4:09.

I used InFlight's options to reset to the default values and went back to The Argent Tournament, InFlight said the time to Westfall Brigade should be 5:04. Stopped it early, landed in Zim'Torga, same update message again.

Not sure if it updated the original path or if the message displayed was just incorrect, but figured I'd report it.
Thank you for the bug report, unfortunately I'm unable to replicate this error.
Is this error repeatable?
Does it occur when InFlight is the only addon loaded?
Are you sure you landed at 'The Argent Stand'? I'm only asking this because that flight point isn't on the flight path from the 'Argent Tournament Grounds' --> 'Westfall Brigade', although it used to be in a previous expansion. If this is the case, then the server hasn't implemented the secure function TaxiRequestEarlyLanding() correctly, as InFlight uses a secure function hook on this API function to know when to not save the flight time when the button is pushed.
Sorry for the really delayed reply.

A classic version is already on my to-do list. Mostly, to stop SoupaSoka from hunting me down (j/k), but it is there
