Please use the troubleshooting below to resolve the following issues with War Thunder:

  • Missing Pitch, Roll, & Yaw Movement
  • Extreme Surge Movement when Loading
  • Sway Telemetry is Missing
  • Yaw Max Telemetry is Negative
  • No Motion for Ground & Naval Vehicles
  • Jerky Motion when Flying


Missing Pitch, Roll, & Yaw Movement

Telemetry for pitch and roll in War Thunder is missing for certain aircraft. This includes the initial aircraft utilized for the training mission, many of the 1st tier aircraft as well a few in other tiers. This is not an issue with Sim Racing Studio, the telemetry for pitch and roll just does not exist for certain aircraft due to the buggy nature of War Thunder. In addition, there are certain helicopters (Russian Ka50) that do not have Yaw telemetry available. War Thunder simply does not provide Yaw telemetry for these helicopters.



Extreme Surge Movement when Loading 

War Thunder has buggy telemetry that can randomly cause the the platform to surge/pitch forward when first loading an aircraft. The movement will cease after the plane has loaded. There is no way to filter this movement without impacting normal flight. 


Sway Telemetry is Missing

War Thunder does not have Sway telemetry. The current values that War Thunder exports is associated with Angle of Sideslip (AoS) which is not an accurate representation of Sway and the g-forces associates with Sway telemetry. Therefore, it has been disabled in this tuning. It is HIGHLY recommended you disable any Sway in tunings by reducing the Effects slider to 0 and setting Max Telemetry to 1800 as indicated in the General Tuning


Yaw Max Telemetry is Negative 

War Thunder's  telemetry output for Yaw is opposite of what is found in the majority of flight simulators. The Yaw axis has been inverted in the General Tuning for use with motion platforms. 



No Motion for Ground & Naval Vehicles

War Thunder does not provide any telemetry for ground or naval vehicles. Thus, there will be no movement available for motion platforms. 



Jerky Motion when Flying

The output rate of telemetry from War Thunder is extremely low and will likely result in some jerky or "steppy" type motion when pitching or rolling over a gradual period of time. Unfortunately, there is no fix for the lack of smooth movement at this time.
