WarThunder 2.2.3

Python package used to access air vehicle telemetry while in War Thunder air battles

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
    • Pitch angle
  • Data avilable only for user's vehicle:
    • 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

To Install

pip install WarThunder

Example Python Script

from pprint import pprint
from WarThunder import telemetry


if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        print('Starting')
        telem = telemetry.TelemInterface()
        
        while True:
            if telem.get_telemetry():
                pprint(telem.basic_telemetry)
    
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Closing')

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).
