We're going to try adjusting the suggested levels list to x500 feet for VFR flights in the coming release, and look carefully for any pushback. IFR flights will keep the x000 feet suggestions, and mixed will give both.

Hallelujah, the rock is moving! 👍

Another alitude...
Till now I was fighting to get the good (low) altitude I wanted to have for the whole flight..
My home base is located well under the Schiphol TMA (starts in general at 1500'). Any VFR flying will be done at 1200-1400, the last one for daredevils who can fly manually within 100' for an hour while doing all the VFR stuff in XX turbulence. Lately, SPL takes up any incursion, like 1600' in the TMA as a serious one. The time comes when they will start fines with serious amounts, 'çause they're fed up.
Till now I set like 1200' manually in the radar display, leg by leg, which is cumbersome, till I now found out, it CAN be done in the aircraft profile! A place I would normally NOT turn to.
Why not have in Flight details the Cruising level altitude select  page option a possibility to select something like A1200 to force the system to use that iso levels?

In the menu Route - Flight Details - Cruising Level you can type every altitude you like. This value will be used as initial value for all legs.

Gerhard, I don't get it, so many times I tried, now suddenly it does. After typing it previously , it did not change the level. Maybe there's a crack in my brains Sad

Your flight has an "overall" level, set in the Flight Details page as documented above.

Each leg can also have its own individually-specified level. If you've already specified a level for each leg individually, the overall level will make no difference.

Here we go again. I video'd  the problem, but I can't upload it. It bluntly refuses to change altitude.
