WTRTI

WarThunder Real-Time Information, a highly customizable HUD overlay and logging tool for War Thunder.

Features

• More than 30 types of indicators (Climb, AoA, Turning time, Turning radius, Fuel consumption, WEP remain, Booster remain, etc.).
  Note: Ammo related information is not available (or very limited) on the web-map, so it cannot be added to the app.
• Two types of OSD (On-screen display):
  RTSS - using "RivaTuner Statistics Server" OSD functionality. Works with any window mode.
  WTRTI - Borderless window with transparency. Requires "Fullscreen Window" mode to be enabled.
• Custom indicators, allows you to make a new indicators with a specific reading properties from localhost:8111.
• Lua scripts, for custom processing of indicator values.
• Custom "Alert" conditions for indicators, with Sound playback.
• VR support (SteamVR only).
• Per-vehicle profile, with automatic loading at the beginning of a battle.
• Hotkey actions (e.g. Profile loading).
• Logging flight data into .csv file (Comma-separated values).
• "Game chat" window, with ability translate in-game chat messages by opening Google Translate web-page or in-app translate (Lingva.ml).
• "Battle Log" window, with a keyword highlight.

How it works

WTRTI does not make any changes to the game process or its data, it 'only' processes data from localhost:8111(web-map) and displays it on a screen.

Installation

1. Download the latest version
2. Extract it to a seperate folder with write permissions. Make sure it is not in the game root directory, otherwise the game launcher will delete WTRTI.exe file in there.
3. Run WTRTI.exe.

Upgrade from previous versions

Simply extract the downloaded zip file into the folder where the old version is located.

System requirements

• Game: Full client+
  DEV Server or Minimal client users, see Troubleshooting section for a workaround.
• OS: Windows 7 or higher.
  Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 and later. Borderless window mode requires Compositor (eg. kwin, compiz).
• Graphics: Buit-in OSD: Any OpenGL 3.3 compatible GPU or greater.
  RTSS OSD: Rivatuner Statistics Server v7.3+. Download
• VR: SteamVR (see Docs/README.txt for more info).

Troubleshooting

"The overlay is stuttering/freezing" or "Data is not updating when ALT-TAB to the game":
    Try to turn off the "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling": https://www.thenerdmag.com/how-to-turn-off-hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling-on-windows-10/

"Not working with DEV server":
    WTRTI may not work, if the vehicle does not have a cockpit or the game client is Minimal, which causes the indicators.json file to be missing on localhost:8111.
In this case, try enabling "Handle data in every game mode" (Settings -> Advanced tab).
Note: Some indicators may not work due to the limited amount of data available from localhost:8111, e.g. Critical AoA, Critical Air Speed.

"OSD is not show up" or "Data is not updated in the main window":
    If you have Antivirus, try to add exclusion for WTRTI.

"RTSS OSD is not working":
    RTSS may conflict with other overlays, try disabling them first.
If you running the game through Steam, try to disable Steam Overlay for War Thunder, just open Properties->General-> Uncheck the "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game".

"WTRTI OSD: transparency is not working/black rectangle":
    Windows: The Compositor on your system is not working properly. Can be a few things:
1. Graphics driver issue, try to reinstall.
2. Windows is corrupted (sfc /scannow).
Linux: Try to enable the compositor (kwin, compiz, picom).

"Flight data is not being written to the CSV file":
    Perhaps Antivirus restricts write access, try to add exclusion for WTRTI.
