InFlight Taxi Timer

example

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).
