About Flight Map and Time

About Flight Map and Time

Flight Map and Time 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. Formerly known as (Dhask's) FlightMap and Flight Map, the new name reflects it's flight timing capabilities which are also an important part of the addon.

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 This may be needed if your user-database in the SavedVariables contains outdated flight nodes.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.

What's new in 5.1.0

  • Now called Flight map and Time, since it has always included flight timing as one of it's core features!
  • Half hill flight master moved. If, despite my best efforts, you get a duplicate Half Hill showing, send me your savedvariables/flightmap.lua and I'll fix it!
  • Misc database updates
  • first attempt at partial Italian translation
  • Please report any bugs you encounter by Creating a ticket on curseforge

About release 5.0.3

Finally got rid of all the obsolete flight points, fixed some tooltip bugs and made the addon Mists of Pandaria compatible! Even included a lot of Pandaria data courtesy of Taryth. If you want to help improve the flight database, simply send your FlightMap.lua from savedvariables to me via PM! Additional improvements planned, stay tuned!

About 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.

Known bugs

  • Timing may or may not get messed up when going to a battleground or dungeon in mid-flight and then resuming the flight afterwards. I'm working on a reliable way to detect this.

    When I mouse over location on the continent it shows a transparent list of fly points in that location. Could you pleeeease make it optional, at least on minimap? I can't see half of Pandaria on my minimap under that list(( Would be eternally grateful :)

    For everything else - thank you :)

    Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to get it in the next maintenance release for Flight Map, which should be no later than the end of this month. I'm glad you like the addon!

  • #1100

    When the timer reaches 0, the bar does not disappear but instead continues to go negative (eventually drawing a bar all the way to the left side of my screen).  I think this is a compatibility issue with eCastingBar, which I use for my timer bars (cast bar, mirror bar, breathe bar): http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/e-casting-bar-for-wo-w-2-0

    Would you be able to look into it?

  • #1102

    Hi, thank you for your feedback! I've looked into it, and it seems to be a minor glitch. The fix for it will be included in the next maintenance release of Flight Map, which should be no later than the end of this month!

    The Horde appear to have two flight points named Serpent's Spine: one in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and one in Kun-Lai.  For some reason, even though I can see the Kun-Lai flight point on my maps, its' not showing up on the actual flight master menu -- even if I'm trying to fly FROM it.  The lines that go between points are connecting at it, but there's no icon for me to mouseover.  Wondering if it has something to do with them sharing a name.

  • #1099

    The icon may be suppressed by the "Conquest & Honor Quarter Master" icon. Whenever there is a warcraft POI drawn on top of flight master locations, they cannot be shown. I can confirm this for the continent map of Pandaria. On my system, the zone map of Kun Lai Summit however does show the flight master icon, and the Taxi select map also seems to work fine.
    Please let me know if this answers your question. If not, tell me what you would like to see changed and I'll do my best to implement it!

  • #1096

    I was wondering, does this Addon take into account the "Ride Like the Wind" Guild Perk?

    The perk makes flight path travel go 25% faster.

  • #1097

    Yes it does! When you are in a guild that has this perk, flight times are automatically recalculated to be 25% faster than normal.

  • #1095

    Is it possible to change the size of the timerwindow? In the german client the time disappears when the name is to long...

    thank you

  • #1092

    The Flightmap Notes on the Worldmap are in English, is it possible to translate to German?

    Regards.

  • #1093

    When you speak to one of the Flight Masters on each continent, all names should be automagically translated. I just tested this myself. (Wenn Sie zu einem der Flight Masters auf jedem Kontinent sprechen, sollten alle Namen automagisch übersetzt werden. Ich habe dies gerade selbst überprüft.)

    Please let me know if this solves your problem! (Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, ob dies Ihr Problem löst!)

    Moncai.

  • #1094

    Cool  Very nice, thank you !!!!

  • #1089

    Now updated for 5.1.0! I will now start working on the 5.2 Flight Map and Time update, so expect an update soon after 5.2 launch!

  • #1088

    IT appears that the Flight point for Halfhill has moved a little

  • #1090

    Thank you for your report! I have fixed this in the 5.1.0 version. If, despite my best efforts, you get a duplicate Half Hill showing, send me your savedvariables/flightmap.lua and I'll fix it!
