X-plane Crashed During CAT 1 Test - Refile Flight Plan?

As the title reads, X-plane took a dump on me right as I was setting up for my approach. Gah!
I'd rather not fly this more than once more. So do I have to file a new flight plan or just try again?

Thanks for your help.

It’s obviously frustrating, but you’ll need to fly it again. Thankfully it’s a short one. Make sure you have your X-Plane AI aircraft turned off as that can sometimes be the cause of a crash.

Thanks Kevin,

Yes, I understand that I have to fly it again. But what I don't want to find out is after flying it again that it doesn't count because the original flight plan I filed is stuck halfway through... or the original flight plan I filed is still valid and filing a new one only means I don't get credit.

So do I need to fly a new flight plan?

Thanks for your help.

Addendum:

Case in point, the current flight plan thinks it's still active:

Thanks.

It should just start a new flight on PEAware. If you want to be 100% sure of it, just fly it with a different callsign.

Ok, thank you. I'll give it a try.
