Now on the vrs map click the cog wheel, receiver range, and select all the altitudes you want to see.

Chris,
Thanks - I thought I had already tried to do that, but did not seem to be able to. Could that be because I don't yet have a password for the Virtual Radar Server, and so don't have all the access rights that I need?

The password option is optional.

Just been talking to @jeallen01 and it seems his browser window is missing the receiver range options, so he can show his Splat.
Anyone got any ideas as to what's missing.

@jeallen01 this is what you need to set apparently
Answer from the 360radar group.
@Llew this might help you out.

I think it needs something in there, and not left blank.
Hopefully it will solve it.

Rob has just asked for a screenshot of @jeallen01 receiver and location screens.

Will do in a few minutes, but (as ever!) I am "confused" because I put my Post Code (IIRC) in that field in VRS - so does anyone know why the cryptic "wepre"?
(this is the sort of "hidden trick" that you can never find out about until someone with a lot of background knowledge tells you!)
OH, & BTW, once you HAVE got the Splatter going, is there an easy way to temporarily hide it again so that you can see live images of the current aircraft tracks?

Yes you can hide the Splat again, it's the same missing options.
Wepre is jed's location. It's his photo.

I tend to leacve mine with just the outer 30000ft+jaggie enabled so I can keep an eye on my maximum range but as Chris says you can just switch them on & off at will once its working.

Well, I had actually not put anything in that particular field (I had put the Post Code in a box under "Receiver Locations", and so this is what it looked like:
Mod Note: Image deleted at Poster's request
HOWEVER, I now found out that the Location box above is greyed out and so I can't put anything at all there at this point!
BTW: as I think you can see, all the other settings are similar to the pic from Chris a couple of posts above, except for the local LAN address which the one fixed for the PC running VRS.

In the drop down with the Red Cross do you get any options?

My Post Code, which I may have entered sometime ago, or else it is automatically "copied" from what is in "Receiver Location".
OTOH, from what others have said, it should not matter what you put in that field - or is there another unseen "gotcha" that has yet to be identified?

If there is an option there, select that option, if not.
I will have to see if I can get some more screen shots for you.

I don't think there is any option in the drop down list because the Post Code is all that shows (i.e. no "blank entry") unless I delete my Post Code in the Receiver Location box, and I will try that in a few minutes.
Update:
I have now deleted my Post Code in Receiver Locations, and just put "Home" - then closed and rebooted VRS, and the Receiver Range Option now appears!
Totally WEIRD - something "not right" with the VRS Server "Client" I think!
PS: To "avoid confusion", this is to clarify that the first part of this post came from my netbook downstairs and the Update came from our "Office" upstairs, where I "fiddled with VRS on the PC that is running it a few minutes later ( and from a 3rd PC which has a much better k/b!).
Update TWO: Splats are now beginning to appear!
