InFlight Classic  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.15.002
by: wildcard25, totalpackage

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).
Retail 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>/_classic_/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
  • For anyone looking for these features, I recommend using Enhanced Flight Map

I checked Twitch for this addon, and it is so new it isn't showing up, at least not in the Classic section. There is the retail version of InFlight listed; will it work in Classic, or do we need to install this version specifically for Classic?

If the retail version of InFlight works in Classic, is it okay to update that version in Classic whenever you update flight times and other data? Meaning the code supports both versions of the game without being confused about things like Stormwind to Westfall has two different times depending on the game because retail has more flight paths and the flight masters are in different coordinate locations?

The twitch client only updates it's info every couple of hours or so, so even tho it was probably on the twitch website, the client might not have known about it for a few hours. This version will be needed for Classic.

Retail and Classic are different. Classic doesn't provide the same information as Retail, so i had to change the database back to the old way of storing flight paths. This means no automatic translations of flight point names by the client. I'm going to wait and see if Blizzard will fix the couple of broken functions that are needed before deciding if I'll have to roll my own localisation conversions. If I do, it will probably be slightly different to how the older versions did it. However, this doesn't affect this version, as there are no default flight times yet.

Also, for the same flight path, times are longer in Classic than in Retail.

Absolutley awesome to see this one get a Classic version! The very first flight I took the other day in Classic and I was immediately looking for InFlight to pop up, then remembered that there wasn't a version for Classic yet! Thanks very much for this, hopefully it won't take too long to build a reasonable database of flight times!

Showing ?? is expected as classic has only just come out, so no flight times are known yet.
Does it print to chat that it's added the new flight time the first time that you take a new flight?
Can you upload your saved variable file here so that I can see what might have gone wrong. (Instructions on where to find the file is in on the 'Addon Info.' page under 'How to Contribute'

At this time I can't check if the addon is working correctly for myself as I have not had time to play Classic due to project deadlines, so your help resolving this would be appreciated. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a toon up to a high enough level for testing over this weekend. This version was, however, working and saving new flight times during the last stress test before release, otherwise I would not have uploaded it.

I guess I should clarify. For the compact mode, when the time is actually shown, the left side still shows ??.

And it seems some but not all flight times are not being saved. The addon message DOES say "adding flight time" blah blah

Thank you for clarifying, with that extra bit of info I found the first bug in less than a minute. When I converted the addon for classic I had to change a couple of variable names, I missed this one. Fortunately, it's only a display bug (it's trying to show the value of a variable that doesn't exist instead of the real variable) and doesn't affect anything else. This will be fixed in the next release.

Not sure how it's not saving the time tho, as it uses the same 3 variables (source, destination, flight time) to save the flight time, then prints it to chat on the following line. So, if there is a message and that message is correct, then that is what actually got saved.

Just to make sure we are both on the same page. If you take 2 flights, A -> B, then B -> C, InFlight now knows the times for A -> B and B -> C. It can also estimate the time for A -> C, but it does not know the times in the reverse direction until those flights are taken.
If you take a flight from A -> C (ie flying A -> B -> C without stopping at B), InFlight only knows the time for A -> C. It does not know A -> B, B -> C or any times in the reverse direction until those flights are taken.

Thank you for your help.

everything is working fine now. thanks for being so responsive. I think I was mistaken before with the failure to register a time. I could have sworn I did a to b two times and it didnt remember it.

Now it works, unexpectedly. What I did (not sure if it actually solved the problem though) is that I went to the options, tried to change some settings, reverted back to normal and then I had the prompts before taking the flight "are you sur to fly" and now the times are displayed correctly, after a first flight.
Prior to that, the messages were indeed printed in chat after a flight, but not saved.
Hope this helps.

InFlight Classic not working

As of today (september 12. 2019) the Inflight addon does not work at all, not showing up when getting on the flightpath and options are not clickable.

Been using it for the last two weeks.

Both of these are due to the retail version being installed on classic.
It looks like like Twitch messed up and showed retail versions as updates to classic versions for a while. InFlight isn't the only addon that has had this type of report in the last day or so

It looks like Twitch is working properly now, so you should be able to re-install the classic version. However, flight times will most likely be lost as the versions are not compatible with each other. You will need to re-enable InFlight in the AddOn menu as it would have disabled itself when it detected that it was running on the wrong client version (that's why there are no options).

Need Data Upload/Download

Will we be able to share our saved flight time data with others? I don't see the option to do this.
