Troubleshooting

WTRTI doesn't work with "Custom Battles" or "Custom Difficulty" (Test Flight):

Make sure you enable the "Allow web UI" option in the custom settings.
This option was added in the "Hornet's Sting" update (2.45).

Radar Altitude do not work

The value “radio_altitude” may be missing in telemetry on some aircraft, because the aircraft does not have a radar altitude or the value is displayed on a digital device (modern jets).
The game just doesn't provide values from HMD or MFDs.

Before reporting a bug to me, check for the "radio_altitude" in the "State" window (press F2 in the main window) while you are in "Test Flight". If this value is missing, then the problem is on the game side.

Fuel consumption indicators do not work

The value “fuel” may be missing in telemetry on some aircraft (e.g. some early Yak's, or modern jets).

Before reporting a bug to me, check for the "fuel" in the "State" window (press F2 in the main window) while you are in "Test Flight".
If this value is missing, then the problem is on the game side.

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" (HAGS).

Note: If HAGS is disabled, the DLSS Framegen may not work.

Not working with DEV server

WTRTI may not work if a vehicle does not have a cockpit or the game client is Minimal, causing some information(indicators.json) to be missing on localhost:8111.
In this case, you can try enabling "Handle data in every game mode" (Settings -> Advanced tab).

Info

Some indicators may not work due to the limited amount of data available in the telemetry, e.g. Critical AoA, Critical Air Speed.

Warning

At some point, the overlay may continue to be displayed when you are in the menu, in which case try disabling this option.

OSD is not show up" or "Data is not updated in the main window

If you have antivirus software, try adding an 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

First try to restart your PC.
Windows: The Compositor on your system is not working properly.
Can be a few things:
- Graphics driver issue, try to reinstall.
- Windows is corrupted (sfc /scannow).
Linux: Ensure that the compositor is enabled (kwin, compiz, picom).

Flight data is not being written to the CSV file

Perhaps Antivirus restricts write access, try to add exclusion for WTRTI.
