War Thunder's Betty. Cockpit warning sounds for simulator pilots.
This sofware does not modify or comprimise the integrity of any of the core War Thunder game files nor it does not have direct access to memory or decompile binary files rather It simply reads Json data from web client at http://localhost:8111 which is available when the game starts.

Modified "Gear Down" warning from below 500 metres / combat flaps minimum, to 20% throttle, as that's more realistic like used in aircraft like the spitfire. Previous landing warning wouldn't function above 500 metres from sea level which meant people flying on some tank arcade maps wouldn't hear the warning.
-
Added "Bingo Fuel" warning with the already present sound sample, it activates between 10% and 10.2% fuel remaining, which is enough to allow even Me 163 pilots to hear the warning. This means players with about 60 minutes of fuel max will retain the warning for about 10 seconds. As long as you aren't using a long range bomber like the B-29, it should function fine. There seems to be no other reliable alternative way to code this warning in.
-
Ground (Or rather Main Sea Level) Proximity Warnings. The protocol doesn't actually provide land data, for that I'd have to dig into the map data which I'm not sure is even legal. The algorithms for that would be too complex for lazy me to deal with too.
-
Swapped the stall horn sound for the two-layererd stall sound used in jets, because it's less annoying and the information is better. Stall warning bleeps like a phone, deeper-stall warning (+ 2 degrees of user setting) is a solid tone.
-
Two-Layered G-Overload warnings.
This software is currently BETA and I am the only tester so there may be bugs. Please feel free to report any bugs.

Bitching Betty is a slang term used by some pilots and aircrew (mainly North American), when referring to the voices used by some aircraft warning systems.
The name "Betty" is a generic popular traditional name from American culture, and is thought not to be derived from its more recent uses to describe an attractive female (in reference to Betty Boop or Betty Rubble of The Flintstones).
The enunciating voice, in at least some aircraft systems, may be either male or female and in some cases this may be selected according to pilot preference. If the voice is female it may be referred to as Bitching Betty; if the voice is male it may be referred to as Barking Bob. A female voice is heard on military aircraft such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Mikoyan MiG-29. A male voice is heard on Boeing commercial airliners and is also used in the BAE Hawk.
War Thunder's Betty is an add-on utility for Gaijin's War Thunder. The aim of the utility is to help simulator pilots by audible warnings as desktop pilots lack the real sense of flight and a physical cockpit environment. It will forewarn before you stall your aircraft, spin your aircraft or black out. It is very useful especially for new pilots or for those who have difficulties controlling the aircraft.
- Download the zip file from
wt-betty\bin\Debug - Unzip
- Execute the wt-betty.exe executable (for example you may double click if you like ;)).
Just run the software and it will begin listening for a valid flight and will start automatically when you jump into a flight. You dont have to worry about it. Just let it do its job in the background. But if you like you can still start/stop manually.
Currently there are 5 annunciator sounds.
- Over G warning
- Angle of Attack warning
- Gear Warning (Gear Up & Gear Down)
- Pull-Up for proximity to the ocean.
- Bingo / Low Fuel warnings.
If you like you can enable or disable the annunciators by clicking the checkboxes next to them at options. Default they will be all enabled.
Not all aircraft are same. They have different performance. This software will not and can not calculate dynamic performance data for particular flight models. They are just simple thresholds. Therefore you have the option to assign your own values and save them to your preferences from the options tab. Currently the save file is global and not aircraft dependant. This is on my TODO list.
The utility may not perform properly with the bombers as there may be no indicator values present for certain bomber types.
