VRS X
High-performance ADS-B visualization for local receivers and self-hosted setups.
Single binary. Zero dependencies. Runs anywhere.

VRS X is coming to your pocket.
The mobile apps are being built as native clients for your own VRS X server, not as a wrapped website. Add your radar URL, choose a feed, unlock protected feeds when needed, and watch the same bounding-box API power a touch-first radar view.
Photos, operator names, route data, altitude, speed, track, squawk, trail, and follow mode are designed for fast reading on small screens.
Password-protected feeds are detected by the app and remembered locally, so switching between your own receivers stays quick.
Find aircraft by callsign, registration, ICAO, route, or type using the live data already visible to your selected feed.
Bring Your Own Data
VRS X never bundles third-party databases. Instead, it gives you the tools to import your own — ADS-B Exchange, OurAirports, VRSOperatorFlags, and more. Your data, your licences, your control.
Aircraft Context
Flight routes via HexDB.io with local cache, real aircraft photos from PlaneSpotters, airport overlays from OurAirports, and operator aliases managed from the admin panel.
Protected Feeds
Create public, locked, and password-protected feeds for different audiences. Mobile clients can connect to your radar and unlock protected feeds without exposing the whole server.
Native Execution
Compiled natively for your architecture (x64 / ARM64) using .NET 10. No JIT lag, no runtime to install. Download the single binary and run — that's it.
Modern Interface & Themes
Modernized with React. Fully responsive across devices. Supports Light, Dark, and Retro themes for both the radar and the admin panel.
Native Mobile Clients
iOS and Android apps are in active development with native maps, aircraft search, selected-aircraft follow mode, trails, cached markers, and a mobile-first aircraft detail panel.
What is VRS X?
VRS X is an independent ADS-B radar server derived from the original Virtual Radar Server codebase. It ports the foundation to current runtimes: the backend runs on .NET 10, the frontend uses React, and the application ships as a single self-contained binary.
It receives ADS-B broadcasts from your hardware receiver, decodes them, and displays live aircraft positions on an interactive map. Beyond the basics, VRS X adds a full admin panel for configuration, a BYOD data architecture for aircraft databases and operator flags, external service integrations for routes and photos, protected feeds, and role-based access control — making it suitable for anything from a home enthusiast setup to a more structured operational deployment.
The project is currently in closed beta and under active development. Want to see it in action before downloading? Check out the live demo. Follow the devlogs to track progress.
