Virtual Radar is an open-source application that can plot aircraft on Google Maps. The program can be installed on a local web server; you can access its features using a web browser. Virtual Radar also has the ability to show the location of a simulated aircraft being flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. To track real aircafts, you need a radio that is capable of receiving Mode-S transmissions.
v1.2 [Feb 5, 2013]
Fixed a problem whereby a rebroadcast server could consume all available memory if a connection to it is held open but no bytes are taken from it.
The "Bytes Sent" column is no longer updated when a connection to a rebroadcast server is held open but no bytes are taken from it.
Added a new column to the rebroadcast server display to show the number of bytes waiting to be sent to the listener.
