FlightPath

FlightPath automatically learns flight paths as you interact with flight masters, including any new paths added in the future. It also provides a list of flight paths, zeppelin routes, and boat connections that you can load manually.

Installation

GitAddonsManager

The easiest way to keep FlightPath up to date is by using GitAddonsManager.

1. Add the Repository: Add the following URL to GitAddonsManager: https://github.com/tilare/FlightPath.git
2. Select the Branch: Ensure that the master branch is selected.
3. Update: Using GitAddonsManager, you can check for and install updates for all your AddOns with a single click.

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

1. Go to the main page of the repository.
2. Click the <> Code dropdown and download the repository as a .zip.
3. Unpack the .zip and rename the folder to FlightPath, removing the -main suffix.
4. Move the folder into your Interface/AddOns directory and restart the game.

Note: The predefined plane, boat and zeppelin routes (/fp load) seem to be outdated. Best to let FlightPath learn the routes by using them.

Important Notes:
