Goose
War Thunder F-14 Assistant
A simple program for the F-14 in War Thunder that parses localhost data and aids the player in combat. Also relies on a Vosk model for speech detection so the player can communicate with Goose by saying "cruise mode," "landing mode," or "dogfight mode."
Project Overview
Goose is a simple program I developed that relies on existing, locally available War Thunder telemetry to give the player assistance when flying the F-14 Tomcat (designed using the F-14A but probably compatible with any tomcat). It also has a Vosk model for speech detection so the player can communicate with Goose by saying "cruise mode," "landing mode," or "dogfight mode."
What Goose does exactly depends on the mode. Modes are switched using Vosk, an open source speech recognition model.
"Normal Mode" or "Cruise Mode":
- Standard flight operations
- Provides general flight advice and warnings
- Monitors basic flight parameters like energy management, fuel, and engine status
"Dogfight Mode":
Activated by voice command (e.g., "dogfight" or "combat")
Provides specific feedback for air combat situations:
- Corner speed management (around 780 km/h for F-14A)
- Energy management during maneuvers
- Weapon status and employment guidance
"Landing Mode":
Activated by voice command (e.g., "landing" or "approach")
Focuses on approach and landing parameters:
- Speed management (warns if above 300 km/h)
- Gear deployment reminders when speed is safe (<450 km/h)
- Low speed warnings when too slow on approach (<240 km/h)
- Provides specific guidance for approach configuration
