No one is working on VNG debayering now. IIRC, I used a library for VNG but it could be that it was always broken from the start. Not sure if there any other more standard C++ debayering libraries out there that we could use.
I do not consider it required to be able to use the VNG method in FITS Viewer.
If FITS Viewer is not able to correctly debayer with the VNG method, you may want to remove VNG from the options.
