Considering that, but not sure if it's worth it? AFAIK, the ship is involved in a single non-repeatable quest. But then, so is the captured Zeppelin for the alliance (or is it not repeatable?). Will look at it - maybe add a display filter (quests)...

The ghostship in Howling Fjord would be cool to see also. ^^

Ye.. I usually take a trip once a week and i rarely reboot the computer during the day. Turn it on in the morning and turn it off when i go to bed.

There are very few ppl riding with boats and even fewer ppl using Nauticus.. 3-4ppl only.

After a week the boats are lagging a few seconds.. And it gets worse after a big blizzard mainenance.. then we are talking a minute or 2. -.-

Oh well... I usually try to get ppl to use the addon but its very hard. :-/

It wouldn't work for the game server time since the clock reads completely differently for each player at the same time.

The extra checks per frame of the local system clock won't eliminate the drift that you're seeing. (Drift is the wrong word - it's not drifting - the round-trip-times are accurately measured).

Each reboot and subsequent WoW session will lose on average -/+0.5 seconds (10 reboots without starting up WoW only counts as one). If you do it lots and lots (reboot, start WoW, reboot...), it still won't lose much (but is ranked accordingly so someone can send you better data).

I'm afraid you just need more people on the realm to furnish you with better data. :)

Another idea.. I guess you cant get the current time with millisecond precision in the standard API and that is the reason for the uptime tick check??
But is it possible to poll the current time like 10times/second and maybe when it detects a change(when the second changes) then it has at least 100ms precision.

Well just an idea.. I am still having some problems with drifting accuracy since the data is swapped back and forth.. :-/

Alpha revision 147 has the new 3.2 zeppelin.

riveth, were you referring to the Sister Mercy?

The process of adding the data is a bit too involved for users to mess around with (and it needs to be perfect as it's shared to other users). Don't worry, if there's a 3.2 PTR out, I'll grab and take a look at it asap...

Edit: Incidentally, which boat? Is it in Live?

Is there a way to add new transports or some code that you use to help determine schedules? We have the new zepp coming in 3.2 and I have found another boat I would like to track.

Yes, you're quite right, thanks for pointing that out. Silly me didn't test it properly when I fixed Blizzard's change to GetPlayerFacing(). (I normally have Rotate Minimap on.)

When i rotate my character the ships are rotating on the minimap in the opposite direction. Is that a known issue?
