OSS for War Thunder is a small Windows desktop application
that monitors War Thunder Matches as they are started and then uploads that
information to WWII Logs when the match finishes. Your information will then be accessible through the OSS application for as long as you want to keep it and www.wwiilogs.com for the current and previous patch. Personal consolidated stats will then also be available through the Career page. It is installed using Microsoft ClickOnce Technology and the installer is less than a MB in size (if you have the required Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.) When installed it will reside in the “C:\Users\Your User\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0” directory for Windows 7
under a randomly generated directory name.
The full directory installation is
less than 2 MB. It also creates a directory structure in C:\ProgramData\OSS4WarThunder for configuration and storage of Mission History and screenshots. It does not run as a
service and needs to be user initiated; however, once installed the application
will start and show up in your system tray immediately after the installation. You will need to right click on the icon to bring up the settings form or click on its icon on the start menu to select its tab. This is where you will enter your player name and OSS Key. The User name is your War Thunder player name and the OSS Key is provided once registered with WWIILogs.com
You OSS user information is then recorded and shouldn’t need to be entered again. It will validate with the server and give you an invalid response if it doesn’t match. It needs to be started when you want to monitor War Thunder. It will start the War Thunder Launcher if War Thunder is not found to be running; however, it needs to be running prior to joining into a match to record it. I personally just start OSS and let it start War Thunder, but you can choose to start it anytime you wish and it just needs to be running prior to joining a match and observe the entire match to the end to capture that match information and upload. It can be initiated by the desktop Icon or through the Windows Start Menu. Desk Top Icon: Start Menu:
It will also close when it detects War Thunder no longer running or you right click on the system tray icon and choose exit. I can’t stand all those processes that continually run and OSS is not one of those. Once set up, it’s pretty painless as you just click it to start instead of War Thunder and it will run quietly down in the system tray until you close War Thunder. When using OSS you'll then upload to the site, Personal stats will then become available to you when logged into the forums, and you'll help collect data for everyone.
If you are interested in using OSS; please, register to these forums with your War Thunder player name (PS4 users need the *) and then download and install. S!

Thanks! It will monitor a PS4 with putting it in remote mode in settings and entering the IP address of the PS4; however, the OSS application has to run on a PC.

Really? Gonna give it a try tonight. Thanks!
My oldest son gained a huge friends list on my PS account, so I google our user name occasionally to see if he's posted anything ridiculous, and stumbled on this site late last night. I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen it mentioned on reddit yet. |
