Virtual Radar is a great piece of software as it allows for real time web based access to all SBS traffic, not just that with ADS-B/extended squitter.
However if the URLs for individual virtual radar users are not easily available then the general public is missing out. Is there a listing anywhere of virtual radar locations with their URLs?
My Vancouver based Virtual Radar can be accessed here (deleted as no longer online)
Hi,
i think dont work or your Virtual Radar Server is disconect.

You can check this thread on FlightRadar24 forum. (some links still working)

Hi Miguel
"Where you have find that silhoutte?"
I've done most of the N American and Asian images, a few others have covered Europe. You'll find them listed here as coloured silhouettes:
http://www.jackzone.org/sbs-1/gallery2/main.php (http://www.jackzone.org/sbs-1/gallery2/main.php)
New logos and a zip files of all those are available here

Thx Steve,
i have see, but there are few from Europe.
No TAP? Or AFR? or IBE? etc
Thx for your excellent work.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for the comment. You'll find most of the European operators on Jack's website under Paulm. Alternatively just type in whatever you are looking for in the search box - it works very well. So if you wanted a Lufthansa A340-600 then search for DLH346.
If that seems too big a task then I could send you a copy of all the logo's I have in my OperatorFlags folder? Just let me know by PM.
If you do start using the logos and you find you are missing some then just let me know what and I'll produce something. There will be lots of S American gaps, but I do intend to get them done someday.
Regards
Steve
Thx Steve.
But i have a problem.
Your images in my website dont apear i dont know why.
I have put your aircraft images inside a file call "images".
But aircraft images dont apear.
Example:
In your site you have: http://96.48.158.181:8899/VirtualRadar/Images/File-WJA738/OpFlag.png
But in mine i have this: VirtualRadar/Images/File-Blank/OpFlag.png
Thx for your help.
Regards,
Miguel
Miguel
I think the images should be saved as bmp files and the Virtual Radar Server should be told where they can be found.
Tools->Options->Basestation
[Attachment deleted by Admin to save file space]
Hi mike,
i have ir.
But don apear aniway.
If i choose flags yes we can see, but when i put this new images dont see nothing.
And are all in .bmp
Any idea?
Thx.
Regards
Your Virtual Radar isn't displaying Silhouettes nor Operator Flags.
Do they appear in Basestation?
Does your sqb file have the ICAO Type and Operator Flag codes?
Hi Mike,
flags we can see.
No problem.
I have put online again flags for you see it.
But silhoutes no can see.
Do you have a code in the ICAO Type field in the Basestation.sqb file?
[Attachment deleted by Admin to save file space]
Yes Mike.
Can we book a remote support session?
I dont have traffic Mike.
We can do that during the day or if you can see aniway we can do that.
what do you think?
I'm here all day tomorrow so we can take a look at a time that suits you.
HI mike,
tomorrow after lunch we can do that if you can.
Thx.
King regards,
Yes, that will be good.
Update
Our member mt007 (http://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=200) wanted to display side view operator flags in the silhouette column as well as operator logos in the flag column.
This is possible but needs some additional effort.
Virtual Radar Server uses a Basestation.sqb database and assumes some conventions are observed.
If the database is updated using an external server, such as Gatwick Aviation Society's, the two key data fields are ICAO Type Code and Operator Flag Code.
The ICAO Type Code uses the ICAO naming convention, such as A388 for an Airbus A380 or B772 or B77W for variations of the Boeing 777.
The Operator Flag Code uses the airline ICAO code, such as BAW for Britsih Airways or RYR for Ryanair.
Basestation and VRS can use these codes to display images, such as a silhouette or operator logo. Basestaion looks for a bmp file in the OperatorFlags sub-folder that matches the data in the ICAO Type Code and Operator Flag Code fields. VRS will look in the folders set in the Options tab.
For example, to display an BA airline logo, if BAW is in the Operator Flag Code field it will look for BAW.bmp. If the ICAO Type Code has B772, it will look for B772.bmp. The matching images can be anything as long as they are bmp file types and are of a usable size, typically 85x20 pixels.
mt007 has downloaded s92 drivers "silhouettes" which are are alternative operator logos, typically named after the aircraft registration (eg 9M-AFA) or airline and type (eg AAL752).
The important thing to note is that the aircraft record in the basestation.sqb file must use the same bmp file name, which in s92drivers VRS page is using the Operator Flag Code not ICAO Type Code.
So, in summary, to display a silhouette for a specific airline or aircraft registration, the aircraft record must have the matching bmp file name in either the ICAO Type Code or Operator Flag Code fields. VRS has the option to display a silhouette alongside an operator logo and, unlike Basestation, can retrieve the image from different locations.
The key is to ensure that you have a suitable bmp file in the relevant folder and that the aircraft record in the sqb file is named appropriately
I hope this may help others.

My VRS site: http://91.117.127.134:8000/VirtualRadar/
Desktop version works fine, same for the mobile version viewed on a desktop. But I can't manage to view mobile one on a mobile. Can anyone test it please?
http://91.117.127.134:8000/VirtualRadar/mobile.html
I have just tried this using Chrome on a Nexus 7 and the page fails to load.
Thanks Anmer, same for me. Sometimes it loads nothing, sometimes just the map. Galaxy S SCL with default browser.

Fantastic coverage, very impressed. It is nice to see where some of the aircraft on my system lands up to!
Jon
Thanks Jon, I have a lot of traffic from UK and central Europe going south to Canary Islands. I have another receiver with even better coverage, but still not on VRS.
Team,
How to edit aircaft notes in VRS? I am trying to change my silhouette but its not working.

could you tell me what flags and silhouettes you have pls
Welcome.
I use a mixture of operator logos and silhouettes, either my own or those provided by forum members.
What do you want to achieve?
I have set up Virtual Radar with these settings, but no aircraft traffic appears
ADSB
Format : AVR or Beast
Network
IP (My own Laptop)
port 80
Test Connection OK
MLAT and Receiver on 8080
Flags and Silhouettes folders empty
The only ports I have open on my router appear to be 80 and 8080
I have seen set-up procedures using ports such as 30004, but they are blocked on my router
Spent hours at this and acheived nothing(//)
[attachment deleted reduce file load]
Welcome
What type of receiver are you using and what decoding software is running? And is it connected to a local network? Do you know the local IP address of the device decoding the Mode-S messages?
Is VRS running on a device on the same local network?
I am hopefully on the network of the Virtual Radar Server ?
I have no onsite receiver or software
Is this my basic problem then, trying to achieve the impossible
Quote from: bures on August 19, 2019, 08:28:17 AM

I think so:
Virtual Radar Server is an open-source .NET application
that runs a local web serverYou can connect to the web server with any modern browser and see the aircraft plotted on a map
Virtual Radar Server runs on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and Linux (via Mono)
Tracking real aircraftYou will need a radio that is capable of receiving Mode-S transmissions.Virtual Radar Server was written and tested using Kinetic Avionic's SBS-1er and SBS-3 radios but it will work with any receiver or SDR that can produce the Kinetic text message format, Kinetic's SBS-3 binary format, the AVR "*", "@" or ":" formats or the Mode-S Beast binary format.
http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/
Thanks for confirming problem. I was beginning to ponder the thought of no receiver
Sucked in by this banner headline on the VRS web site:
"You can connect to the web server with any modern browser and see the aircraft plotted on a map
Also watched a couple of You Tube Videos telling you how to set up the software, BUT no mention that you must have a receiver attached. Consequently I thought the feed was coming direct from VRS when it mentioned "connect to the internet"
I already have a URL to ADS-Bx/ Global Radar, so that will do me fine
Appreciate your patience with such an obvious error

Are you located near London Heathrow airport? Your link opens at that location.
Hi, no. I am located in Austria.
This are the standard coordinates. I still need to change this.

Ah OK.
I see you've added a link to a website in your signature.
Please see the Forum Rules (https://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?topic=3.msg20#msg20):
Link In Signature/Profile:
You may put a link to your personal website in your signature/profile or in a post. If you do, a reciprocal link to this forum is a prerequisite.
Should be fixed now if you clear page data and reload.
To see all receivers you need to activate the merged feed "All Receiver" in the Menu. (Did not figure out how to make it default yet)
Sorry, I removed the link till I find time to implement a back link in my site.

Still doesn't appear to open centred on your presumed location.
You don't have many aircraft displayed. Where's your antenna installed?
Hi,
strange I tested it and it centers where i saved the view on a new browser.
But I zoomed out quite far because I receive a merged feed which has a very big radius. And i want to have an overview.
My antenna location is not good as the cable from the magmount antenna is too short. It is outside the window on the balcony.
In summer I replace it with a new dongle and a new big antenna which will be mounted on a pole on the balcony.
But at the moment i am in Belarus and added a second receiver here. Range is quite OK but less traffic :)
I enable the receiver plot for website users so you can check the range if you want.
