Flight Map

About Flightmap

FlightMap is all about the flights you take in the World of Warcraft. It draws lines on the continent maps, showing you visually where you can fly from each zone as you mouse over them, as well as showing a window listing all the available destinations, their costs and their flight durations. On the zone level map, flight masters appear as small boot icons, allowing you to see where they are. During flights, a castbar-alike progress bar will show you how long is left on your current journey.

Usage notes

Use /fmap or /flightmap to bring up the options window. Here you can set whether you want to see unknown flights on the map (most of you want this) and other tweaks. Type "/fmap hardreset" if you want to restore factory settings to your currently logged-on faction. This may be needed if your user-database in the SavedVariables contains outdated flight nodes. Type "/fmap lock" to prevent Flight Map from trying to record new flight times. The timer bar is movable if you hold down SHIFT and drag it.

Latest Release 4.2.1

This release brings back the Flight Master POI in the Zone Maps. A dash of colour is added for good measure (Neutral remains green, Alliance is now blue and Horde is now Red). May still contain an odd number of obsolete flight points, please keep reporting them. I hope to finish weeding for 4.3.

About release 4.1.0-beta2

This release includes a serious bug fix in the load order of files which prevented the default flight data from loading properly. I have now automated a good chunk of the flight data maintenance, and it should be easier for me now to keep up with changes. I hope to have weeded out all obsolete flight points, errorsand duplicates. If you find any of the above, please let me know.

About release 4.0.1-beta

many bugfixes contributed by Brad Morgan and Urbin. Also new are two added commands: "/fmap repair" and "/fmap hardreset". The repair option will try to repair your database (by adding default flights not present in previous versions) while keeping your existing flight times intact. This means the repair option is safe to use. The second option is a very drastic measure; hardreset will restore all flight times to their factory setting. Hardreset is therefore recommended only when your own flight database contains obsolete flight points. Beta may or may not contain specific flight notes and/or outdated flight times. Use at your own volition and risk. Update brought to you by Moncai.

About release: 3.3.3-beta 2

This release includes three new flightpaths and a fix for the timer window. The second beta adds optionally larger timer frame, options window now showing on using /fmap and minor bug fixes. The update is brought to you by the author of Moncai Compare and Moncai Quest Tracker.

Beta notes

  • 3.3.3-beta2 adds optionally larger timer window, options window again showing on /fmap and minor bug fixes.
  • 3.3.3-beta added three new flight points and a fix for the timer window. Please report any bugs by Creating a ticket on curseforge
  • 1.9-3beta147 adds two new "/fmap" subcommands: "/fmap lock" to prevent FlightMap from learning any more flight times, and "/fmap open" to open up the flight map window. It also should correctly remove Valor's Rest for translated versions.
  • 1.10-1beta151 updates for the 1.10 patch. See below for 1.10-1 notes. This is flagged BETA because the test servers went down two hours earlier than the live servers, which was two hours earlier than I expected. It *should* work but it might not.

Known bugs for 4.1.0

  • Timing may get messed up when going to a battleground or dungeon in mid-flight and then resuming the flight afterwards. I haven't found a reliable way yet to detect this. Still working on that.

Thanks also to Simon, who has helped immensely with the German translations. Thanks to Tarith, neoaeon, MFGK and VoiD88 for submitting initial cataclysm flight data.

    Any chance someone is still around to update this for WoW 4.0?

    I've got a version that mostly functions. I suspect that Cataclysm may require more extensive changes, however.

    @KKram, thank you for your contribution! A portion of your suggestion has found it's way into v3.3.3. Let me know what you think.
