Happy New Year everyone!

The software team at NFS has been hard at work to continue to improve our software. We have an exciting announcement this release which is the ability to update our navigation database in the US/Canada using the ARINC 424v18 standard. This is a big step forward in the ability to provide current, realistic, and effective tools for our current and future customers. This was a very difficult task and took us a long time to both understand how the data is organized and to manipulate it into a usable form for fast, efficient access from our program. We are going to provide updated navigation data free of charge for 2022 as a thank you to current customers!

Stay tuned! We’re working on some really cool updates! Thank you for your continued support!
