ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: I’m in the PC-12 NXG in the parking area prior to taxiing. I enter a VFR flight plan in the EFB (see 1st and third screenshots below) and route it to ATC and Avionics. In the PC-12 MFD, I select the arrival as runway 05R, visual 05R and straight (see second screenshot). I Insert and then double check. The SIM has changed the flight plan to RNAV (Screenshot 4) which I do not wish to fly. The RNAV is still there after activate, delete discontinuity and activate again. Trying to figure out why SIM will not retain my VFR flight.
