I created separate flags and Silhouettes folders in VRS but only one logo shown and that's in flags which have no content
Please help someome ! What have I done wrong or not done ?!
Welcome.
Do you have a corresponding BaseStation.sqb file that's populated with Type and OperatorFlag codes?
This may help:

Nothing in BaseStation.sqb. I only using a RTL V3 dongle. I don't understand the guide, some links are dead also
If you don't have an associated aircraft database, BaseStation.sqb, how can VRS display anything about an aircraft message received?
Have you read the VRS documentation?
Database filename
This is the full path to the SQLite database that either BaseStation or the Database Writer Plugin updates with information about the aircraft that it sees. You may leave this field blank but if you do then the reports will be empty and information that is not transmitted by the aircraft (such as the registration, the type of aircraft, the operator of the aircraft and so on) will not be displayed.
Flags folder
This is the full path to the directory that contains aircraft operator logo images. You can leave this blank but if you do then operator logos will not be displayed.
VRS looks in this folder for a BMP file whose name corresponds with the OperatorFlag field from the BaseStation database record for an aircraft. OperatorFlag is usually filled with the ICAO operator code by programs such as SBSPopulate.
Silhouettes folder
This is the full path to the directory that contains aircraft type silhouette images. You can leave this blank but if you do then silhouettes will not be displayed.
VRS looks in this folder for a BMP file whose name corresponds with the ICAOTypeCode field from the BaseStation database record for an aircraft. This is usually filled with the ICAO8643 code by programs such as SBSPopulate..
