What is Virtual Radar Server?
Virtual Radar Server is an open-source .NET application that runs a local web server. You can connect to the web server with any modern browser and see the aircraft plotted on a map.
Tracking real aircraft You 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.
Tracking Flight Simulator aircraft Virtual Radar Server can also show you the location of a simulated aircraft being flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and XPlane. You just need to install Virtual Radar Server on the same computer that the flight simulator is running on. You will not need a Mode-S receiver.
