    I added this plugin as a new resource as I could not add this to the old thread... or then I am just incompetent and did not find the button to do so.
    The forces from the game are as follows (Best that I could come up with the data that is available)
    Roll: Roll speed in degrees / second
    Pitch: Position of Elevator
    Heave: Vertical G-forces
    Yaw: Position of Rudder
    Sway: Angle of attack or something along those lines.
    Surge: Speed - lastSpeed
    Extra1: Roll relative to earth
    Extra2: Pitch relative to earth

    this plugin connects via tcp to the dynamic battle map thing that war thunder provides and extracts data from there. You can access the battle map with your web browser when the game is running ( http://127.0.0.1:8111/ ). I can pretty easily add values from the battle map to Dashboard if someone wants. Just let me know what you would like to get from those values and I'll see if I can make it happen.

    My father thinks you are the greatest @Ville Pesonen, as do we all, War Thunder in VR with motion is his all time favorite thing to do!

    Just for the benefit of others at the moment Extra1 behave like traditional roll, it will flip from one axis extreme to the other at the point of inversion, while roll acts as it does in Extra for P3D and the ED plugin, it will remained rolled at the axis extreme until the joystick is released, which is way more realistic in VR

    As discussed in PMs @Ville Pesonen at some point it would be worth swapping them around so it is not confusing and remains consistent between different plugins.

    Hi Ville!
    since DCS World didn´t managed to send proper vectore values, i´d like to try it with your warthunder plugin :)
    Some noob question about it:
    I´d like to control bank axis with full 360°:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2LQi0fzxwCVX2cyRlZlU1pkQkE
    Is your Plugin and X-Simulator able to do so?
    If yes, can i send the input values from xsim via usb to adruino uno and then to sabbertooth 2x60?
    Thank´s very much indeed!

    Hi,

    The plugin provides Roll value relative to earth that you could use as banking. it does not take into account the g forces though, so if the plane is at 45 degree angle relative to earth and you pull on the stick back to do bank turn, the downward force felt by the pilot does not affect the Roll value. the Extra1 value is the Roll speed in degrees/second.
    If you can control your simulator with Simtools V2, this plugin will be able to move your sim.
    This plugin is using the values from the Dynamic battlemap thing that war thunder provides (open http://127.0.0.1:8111/ with web browser while the game is running). If there are some values that you can use, I can pretty easily add them to the plugin.

    Perfect! Just what i needed. Can you confirm that pitch is also +/- 180° ? Some times ago there was a max. pitch up +/-90° possible... exeeding 90°, caused a bank flip of -180°

    I don't remember how it is behaving at the moment. I think it is 90° degrees up and then the roll value will flip. You can check the behavior easily from the dynamic battle map (the values used for roll/pitch are aviahorizon_roll and aviahorizon_pitch) or you can look at the behavior from Simtools' tuning center.

    This might be a dumb question, but does this work with Simtools 1.3 or only Simtools 2.0+ ?

    Hmm, i watch the values in 127.0.0.1:8111 while flying around, but the only usefull one is pitch. But pitch didn´t change (allways 24.1). AOA does not work (relative value). And i didn´t found a bank or roll value.
    May i don´t see evere available value?

    The values used in the pitch/roll are named aviahorizon_roll and aviahorizon_pitch. the values are either in http://127.0.0.1:8111/state or http://127.0.0.1:8111/indicators. These urls don't update on their own like the dynamic battle map. the dynamic battle map shows the values from those two urls.

    You can move the windows inside your browser to make them visible. I think the values are hidden under all the other stuff in your screenshot:
    pitchroll.PNG
    You can see the values at http://127.0.0.1:8111/state only when you're flying. The values will not show up there when you're in the menus.

    Hello, i have little troubles with this plugin, installed it normally but it seems that the game does send none - very little data to simtools:(
    It seems that the plugin is installed correctly,i tried it few times with no help.
    When i turn on the game the simtools goes blue and tuning center is able to do mods.. But still no movements..
    Images attached, any ideas, please?

    Does your computer have a firewall? If so, try to disable it for a moment and see if the plugin works.

    Is there a plugin that works with the tanks in War Thunder?

    Not that I know. The tank portion does not provide the needed information through the dynamic battle map.
