Brief description of the issue:
When using the Short SC-7 Skyvan with Garmin 430/530, a simple Flight Plan entered from the World Map does not load into Garmin GPS 430/530 on subsequent flights with same SC-7 model/livery as the previous flight. Changing the model of the SC-7 (e.g. from Military to Surveyor) -or- changing the livery (e.g. from Camo to Grey) appears to fix the symptom. Also, I note that the issue persists across restarts of the Flight Simulator -and- cold restarts of the Windows computer.
