**VFRnav 4.18** introduces several major improvements and a brand-new feature: **multi-device synchronization**.

#### What’s New?

- **New:**  **Multi-device synchronization** is now available for the first time.  
This feature allows you to keep **aircraft, routes, and flight log entries** in sync across multiple devices.  
The function is currently in **beta testing** and can be enabled in the **settings**.  
We strongly recommend creating a **backup** before activating this option.

- **Improved:** The **aircraft selection dialog** has been significantly enhanced — both in the main aircraft selection and within the **route planning** interface.  
Additionally, the **aircraft editing screen** received multiple refinements and usability improvements.

- **New:** The **Pilot Information Bulletin (PIB)** now supports an **optional two-column layout** , providing a more compact format ideal for **printing**.

- **New (Simulator Users):** The connection to **X-Plane 11 and 12** now also transmits **attitude (AHRS) data**, allowing VFRnav’s **artificial horizon** to be driven directly by X-Plane.

#### Fixes

- **Fix:** Restores the **last known position** after restarting VFRnav

- **Fix:**  **Route loading dialog** under iOS

- **Fix:**  **Airspace warning** triggered for non-active airspaces

- **Fix:** The **last used aircraft** was not saved correctly

As always, if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear from you — either by **email** or right here in the **forum**.

**Blue skies and safe flying!** ✈

Hello

I have a request for the next update.

In flight planning, I would like to tap the airport identifier and get the same information as when I tap the identifier on the map.

At the moment I always have to switch back and forth between flight planning and the map.

Regards

Thomas

Hi Hermann,

Update downloaded, works!

I found the synchronization in the settings and activated it despite all the warnings.

The data exchange worked perfectly. You have to start it explicitly. But that’s no problem, since it’s still in testing.

I also had a flight on the tablet with the same identifier. It created two entries for it. I suspect it was due to a different internal identifier?! I deleted one entry, and otherwise everything is perfect. I changed the entry on the tablet, triggered the sync there and on the phone, and the entry was updated immediately there.

As always: excellent!

Gerhard

Hello everyone,

for me, it doesn’t synchronise the weight & balance parameters; can someone help me? I would like to synchronise S24/A9.

Thanks / Regards,

Hello @Ernifliegt

I can’t reproduce this behaviour on my devices so far.

A few ideas:

If an aircraft with the registration _XY_ was manually added on both devices before the first sync, those entries won’t be automatically merged during syncing. This means that after the first sync, you may have two entries with the registration _XY_ on both devices.  
Could that be the case for you?  
In that case, one of the duplicate entries can be deleted without any issues – this doesn’t affect the logbook or any other data.

It’s also important:  
During the test phase, after each change to an aircraft, a logbook entry or any other synchronised data, the **“Synchronise” button** must be pressed on **both devices** in order for the changes to be transmitted correctly.

Pilot’s regards  
Hermann

Hi Hermann,

thanks for the explanation, I’ve tested it as you described and it works!

Thanks very much!
