Unable to save flight file as .FLT during flight


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
In Free Flight, while I am in a flight if I want to save the flight file as .FLT from the EFB menu opened from inside the cockpit, I am only being able to save as .PLN which saves the flight plan - but there is no way to save as .FLT although the menu item clearly mentions that we can save flight file as .FLT during flight.

This is needed so that I can save a long flight multiple times in between and resume from saved flight to complete the entire flight in multiple sessions.
