    I don't know if a lot of people uses VRS to see their feed, but I do. There is a lot of features that makes it quick to find data about aircraft, the receiver range plot and the option to switch between feeds and more. Main things I like is I can run it home and view everything from any device wherever I am in the world.

    One thing I'd like to see in the future would be to format the MLAT return from mlat-server to match VRS mlat flag into the timestamp. See: forumDOTvirtualradarserverDOTcoDOTuk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1209#p7301

    It would allows VRS to display "Yes" in the MLAT column when a plane appear on the radar from the results of an MLAT calculation using the default ADSB-Receiver setup (outputing ADSBx data directly onto a dump1090 listening port). See the attached screenshot of the plane list. This way, a single feed from each pi is required instead of two.

    Oh I forgot...

    Mode S data indicate nothing. This means that C-GHQP mode S is received.

    Actually MLAT data are indicated as No, because the mlat-server do not indicate mlat data into the timestamp.
