I have had some odd behaviour from the public beta I am running at a specific route. I import the flight plan from simbrief. I add the SID and omit the STAR as none is called for at the destination and add the runway with the transition waypoint. It all looks good initially on both the map and the plan. Once I validate and then file the plan, I lose 2 waypoints not including the connection to the transition waypoint. The FMC in the aircraft had no issue with any of the waypoints and  did end up arriving safely with my passengers intact but I found it quite odd that three waypoints would suddenly disappear upon validation in Pilot2ATC. I would have attached a log but for some reason I cannot locate the specific log file for that flight.

If you have the "ATC Assigns xxx" options checked, then when you Validate/File the plan, P2A might make changes to it, which could result in waypoints being removed to accommodate a STAR, for example.  If you don't have the "AutoLoad Recommended Procedures" option checked, then the added procedures would not be displayed on the visible flight plan or map.

If you want to enter a plan and then fly it, just uncheck the three ATC Assigns xxx options and check the Force Pilot Runway Selection option...all on the FltPlan tab of Config.

I will take a closer look at my settings to see if that was the issue....thanks. Just one point of clarification, the flight plan I am referring to is the plan as it appears in Pilot2ATC. The map and the plan do not agree on this route but I will adjust the settings as you suggested to see if it makes any difference.
