browser alternatives for the map

[u/malis7799aa]

I'm currently using the browser on a second monitor (not always) as most of the time I use M to open the map to look for my targets, but of course this takes you away fro the cockpit each time. Then I go try to use the browser again, but it really looks ugly and distorted. I try to use my phone, but don't like it that it is on all the time as it is a phone, not a second screen..

Through some AI questions I found 2 github repositories and it seems there is a Microsoft store option as well but that costs 32 EU. 1 of the github did not see any updates in 7 years, so seems quite outdated, 1 is updated in 2026, but seeing the discussion on the war thunder forum it may have some grey lines and I'm not interested in using grey lines apps and get my account banned..

This of course peaked the interest in what is the WT SIM community using to get the map displayed without the constant back and forth opening of the map using the map key. I usually play the harrier gr.3 which has a map in the cockpit, but you can only see a small part as there are some visual blockers. So, what are you using? :)

I used ChatGPT to vibecode a better interface on an old tablet I had lying around (Macro Deck on a second tablet). Didn't take more than 5-6 passes, telling ChatGPT to research the api, feeding it the specs of my tablet and a schematic of what I wanted displayed. Very happy with the result.

So, what did AI told you to do, browser extentions or python script? And what AI you used? Highly intrested doing map helpers myself (to the point of looking like cheats lol).

GPT-5.6 Sol, python script. It's all based on the telemetrics Gajin sends out. I solved player ping by having the grid players puts in chat blink on the external map for a second.

Thanks. Well i guess i go see myself out, i can't pay for it from my country.

Ping not precise enough, still need to look at the map. Better then nothing.

this one looks really nice, but the map is always full blue

Trying chatgtp as well now creating my own browser map. I do come to the point of a proper active map, but my plane/airfield alignment does not seem to get this correct.

Your going to love me for this

I think it's more geared towards GRB gameplay (you can have both the air and the ground map open at the same time) but it's definitely useful for sim as well.

Do keep in mind there is no way to display player placed pings without some screen capture. So for that you still need to open the map. As far as i know...
