FlightHUD
Displays a fully configurable fighter jet style Heads Up Display (HUD) while flying or riding.
Features:
- Shows your current heading in degrees as text and as a graphic with cardinal points relative to the mimimap.
- Shows the true pitch of your character. This is no longer a hack, as patch 3.0.2 added GetPlayerPitch(), an API call
that returns a character's true pitch. Before patch 3.0.2, the camera pitch was used, and the pitch display was not
accurate unless you always kept your camera behind your character.
- Shows map coordinates.
- Shows your true speed, horizontal speed, or both, as a percentage, where a normally running character is 100%, or
as yards per second, or both.
- Configurable transparency of the text and graphics.
- Configurable transparency of the background.
- Configurable size of the text.
- Configurable size of the pitch graphic.
- Configurable frame size.
- Movable frame. Hold control while hovering the mouse over the frame and left click drag to move it.
- Waypoints. (Configurable Alt/Shift/Ctrl/Combination)-rightclick on the map to add a waypoint. Multiple waypoints are
supported. Waypoints appear in the HUD and float as you pan. Each point shows the distance and bearing to the point,
plus an ETA if you're moving.
- Waypoints can now be made persistent and configured to show only in the zones they're created in.
- Waypoints can be deleted by right clicking on them in the world map or mimi map.
- QuestHelper integration: See the default QuestHelper quest as a persistent waypoint.
- Blizzard POI (Point of Interest) integration: (modifier)-click a POI on the map to set it, and subsequently unset it,
as a waypoint. The modifier can be set in the config.
TODO:
- Editable, movable waypoints.
- Add an interface to manage waypoints. (Can't delete a POI waypoint when it no longer appears on the map)
- HUD frame skins to make it look like a real fighter HUD.
- Configurable locations of text and graphics within the parent frame. Perhaps at some point make them detachable.
Known bugs:
- This code is perfect, of course!
Reporting bugs:
- Please post bug reports here. While I monitor the
comments on curse.com, it makes my life easier if bugs are reported in the wowace bug tracker.

- NEW! This video showcases the new options menu and
QuestHelper integration.

fettigcj Sat, 03 Oct 2009 18:20:19one suggestion - let us clear a waypoint before we get there, in the event we're just creating test waypoints playing with the mod and suddenly have a map full of waypoints cluttering things up... or just plain don't feel like clearing our addon settings to get rid of a waypoint out in timbuktoo
second suggestion, can we have the option to unlock aspect ratio and resize the frame? I'd prefer a little wider and shorter than the current ratio, but of course everyone's preference on that point will be different...

WeirdmanJ Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:11:44Awesome Addon. Absolutely love it, even for just running around on my chevrolegs. Nothing but great things, already looks like a real aircraft HUD (at least the prism Glass portion of it).

Barfolomeu Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:03:30Regarding Mithril Spurs:
There is no "identification" of speed modifiers. The speed is either returned by GetUnitSpeed(), which is the "true" speed, which accounts for speed modifiers such as Mithril Spurs or Crusader Aura, or calculated by the distance traveled over time.
Regarding altimeter:
The WoW addon API doesn't provide Z axis information, so no altimeter is possible. I will add support for altimeter once Blizzard sees fit to add the appropriate API that allows for it.
Regarding "What is 0.6.x, 0.5.x":
0.6.x was an alpha release. 0.5.x is the old "stable" release. 0.7.x is the current beta, which seems fully functional with regards to 0.5.x's functionality, but still needs work with the new waypoint features.

jkevens Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:10:39I would like to make a suggestion for FlightHUD. I think an altimeter would go really well with this addon. 8^)
