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 positions
of aircraft on a Google Maps
map.
You can see an example of the server's output here.
Requirements
Virtual Radar Server runs on Windows XP SP2 (or better), 32-bit or 64-bit. It needs
the Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework installed but don't worry if you don't already
have it, the installer will help you install it if necessary.
If you want to see the locations of real aircraft
You will need a radio that is capable of receiving ADS-B transmissions from aircraft.
Virtual Radar Server was written and tested using Kinetic Avionic's SBS-1er and SBS-3 radios but it will
work with anything that can produce the de-facto standard Kinetic message format,
Kinetic's SBS-3 binary format, the AVR "*", "@" or ":"
formats or the Mode-S Beast binary format.
If you want to see the locations of Flight Simulator X aircraft
Virtual Radar Server can also show you the location of a simulated aircraft being
flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. To see this you just need to install Virtual
Radar Server on the same computer that Flight Simulator X is running on. You will
not need an ADS-B receiver.
Getting Started
If you have an ADS-B receiver, or a copy of Flight Simulator X, then just
download the program and give it a go!
