Overview

Python package to access vehicle telemetry and match data in real-time while in War Thunder air battles (NOT tanks). Here are some things you can access/do with this package:

  • Get telemetry information on your vehicle and others identified on user's mini map
    • Data available for both user and other match player's vehicles:
      • Location in latitude/longitude (DD)
      • Heading angle
      • Airspeed
    • Data avilable only for user's vehicle:
      • Pitch angle
      • Roll angle
      • Flap state
      • Gear state
      • Altitude
  • Data on other objects identified on user's mini map
    • Object's location in latitude/longitude (DD)
      • Airfields have 2 locations, one for each end of the runway
    • Object's faction (friendly or enemy)
    • Object's type (fighter, bomber, heavy tank, etc)
  • Map name
  • Chat comments (anything typed into chat)
  • Match events (death, crash, etc)
  • Log data in an ACMI format compatible with Tacview

This library makes use of War Thunder's localhost server pages (http://localhost:8111/indicators, http://localhost:8111/state, http://localhost:8111/map.img, http://localhost:8111/map_obj.json, and http://localhost:8111/map_info.json, and more!) that the game automatically serves when you launch a game match. If it is an air battle, these pages will include JSON formatted data with valid airplane telemetry. This telemetry is then converted and returned to the calling function/user.

The data can then be easily used for any custom application (i.e. telemetry datalogger and grapher).
