FSTelemetry

Python library for collecting Flight Simulator 2020 telemetry into a local csv file using SimConnect. Variables for collection are simply defined in a config.yaml file.

A list of available data points can be found here at the Python-SimConnect GitHub page: https://github.com/odwdinc/Python-SimConnect/blob/master/SimConnect/RequestList.py#L234.

Getting Started

Install FSTelemetry (https://pypi.org/project/fstelemetry/)

pip install fstelemetry

Create a config.yaml file in a new folder containing a list of metrics you would like to track:

keys:
  - PLANE_ALTITUDE
  - GROUND_VELOCITY
  - AIRSPEED_INDICATED
  - AIRSPEED_MACH
  - AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE
  - AMBIENT_PRESSURE
  - TOTAL_WEIGHT
  - FUEL_TOTAL_QUANTITY
  - ENG_FUEL_FLOW_GPH:1
  - ENG_FUEL_FLOW_GPH:2
  - TURB_ENG_CORRECTED_N1:1
  - TURB_ENG_CORRECTED_N2:1
  - VERTICAL_SPEED
  - AIRCRAFT_WIND_X
  - AIRCRAFT_WIND_Y

In the same directory, simply launch the tool (Note: ensure you are in an active flight)

fstelemetry

This will produce a log file named with the current YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.csv by default. You can change settings such as the config & log file location if needed. You can also adjust the delay in logging (default 1.0 seconds). See:

fstelemetry --help
usage: fstelemetry [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--log LOG] [--interval INTERVAL]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG      Relative path to the config file
  --log LOG            Relative path for the output log file
  --interval INTERVAL  Polling interval in seconds
