Many people go afk whilst flying but don't know how long it'll take. My idea is a timer to estimate how long it will take to reach ur destination, so u don't annoy anyone waiting for you.

What do you guys think?

    Given variable fly time for e.g. slower speed when the game is minimised, it would make it a bit difficult to get an accurate timer. But otherwise I don't see a problem.

    hmmmm... yes i hadn't thought about that. How about the time is made for +1.00? i dunno is +3.00 3 times faster? then you could just divide time by 3.

    or what we could have is a choosing service where you type in or select your wing speed, it auto saves this until you wanna change it.

    Any other problems?

    For your first question, no: +3 is not 3x faster than +1 because the actual values would be something like 6m/s compared to 9m/s (not getting into whether 5 is the base speed, just illustrative).

    My issue is...if you are AFK...how will you be alerted by this timer? will your minimized window flash? will it text your cell?

    Personally, I put it in "window" mode, use a browser over it, and just flip back and forth every few minutes. Works great.

    hmmm i was not thinking for it to be a sort warning thing just estimate time tool, used for example when your flying to an fb and it quite far, it'll tell you an estimated length of time needed, so you don't hold everyone up. i meant it for afk for drink or like in another room.
