Unfortunately I do not think it is that easy.  VRS takes the .BMP file and then translates it into a .png for the webpage.  I think something is going wrong with the translation.  I have been in contact with one of the VRS developers and he is checking into it.  I appreciate your help!

Apologies for "necroposting" but I've encountered the same issue with the Linux and Mono version of VRS, and it turned out to be compatibility issues with the lthe latest mono version 6.12.122. VRS hasn't been updated since 2019 per its github code page so it works best with a version of mono of the same vintage such as 6.0.0.334 which can be installed after adding (in my case as I use Debian Buster) "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-buster/snapshots/6.0.0.334 main" (without the quotation marks) to /etc/apt/sources rather than "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-buster main" as the instructions on the mono-project.com website say.  The instructions on VRS's website to install the latest version of mono were apparently written when 6.0.0 was the latest. I just wanted to leave this information here in case others are experiencing similar problems.

Hi JayM,

VRS has been continously in development, but for some reason only in "Preview" versions.  A full non-Beta update has not been pushed out.  However I've been running the latest Previews of Version 3 with later version of Mono for some time now, without any issues at all. 

Download can be found here   https://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/Preview.aspx

@s92driver: thank you for that information. I didn't know VRS was still under development, I thought it was basically abandonware as of 2019. It's good to find out that I'm wrong.

For everyone else, my post above regarding mono version compatibility issues may apply to the current stable version 2.4.4 of VirtualRadarServer only.
