Unable to reproduce this one. Sent a plan from the EFB and it came over into the C185’s GNS 430 just fine, as shown here:

And during the GNS 430 startup screens you can see that it currently is on the V2 version (specifically 2.1.3) of the avionics:

Hi @Marnacle00
First, I’m in the SU4b, so not sure it that’s what fixed it, but I’m not seeing the issue.
But secondly, there is a thread concerning the issue that if you change any of the Flight Conditions after building a flight plan in the EFB, the system will lose the flight plan you built (bug!). Could that be the issue you’re seeing? I know I changed my process to get all the conditions set before I built/imported/sent a flight plan, and it’s worked since then.
