Free flight starts with wrong aircraft after doing discovery mission

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: After having done a discovery mission I start a free flight. On the world map I see my default aircraft (the Sky Rascal) as selected aircraft but when I start the flight, it actually starts with the aircraft from the discovery mission.
So what you see is not what you get.
Checked this both with release 1.2.11.0 and with latest SU 1 Beta 1.3.24.0. Same issue.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Do a flight with the Powrachute Sky Rascal. Then exit flight simulator
  2. Start FS.
  3. Select “Activities” → “Discovery” → “Mount Cook” (German: “Aoraki”)
  4. Start this flight. Note that it uses a Cessna 208 Grand Caravan. Fine so far.
  5. Exit this flight
  6. Select “Free flight”.
  7. On the world map, note that your previously selected aircraft (“Powrachute Sky Rascal”) is pre-selected. Fine.
  8. Select a starting point and start the flight.
  9. Result: Flight starts with Cessna 208 Grand Caravan, not with the Powrachute Sky Rascal.

How to solve issue (workaround):
10. Cancel/end flight and return to world map
11. On world map, click on aircraft. Aircraft selection window seems not to know either what aircraft is selected:


12. Select Sky Raskal again by clicking on it’s image
13. Save.
14. If you now start the flight you really start with the Sky Rascal.

… but when starting the flight I get the Cessna Grand Caravan from the mission, which was not intended.
