Bottom right of the screen and click on the Flight Details tab.

Hi, I am having the issue that on Windows skydemon only accepts IFR heights (2000, 3000, ...), instead of VFR heights. If I try to enter such a height, it does not accept it.

Make sure that in the Flight Details sub-window (bottom right of screen) Flight Rules is set to VFR.

I agree, there appears to be a bug.

Setting IFR should present only the round thousand altitudes.
Setting VFR should present only the thousand+500 altitudes
Setting 'Mixed' should present both.

That's the way the iOS/iPadOS version works, and the Windows version should behave in the same manner.

You can type any altitude (or flight level) you like into the box. landrus, when you say "it does not accept it", what exactly are you typing and what happens?

I was typing in values, as they appeared from SyDemon. So, let's say it was 5,500 feet. When you click in the field that text would still be in there. You cannot change that value, any change will be denied. It does accept pure numbers (so, in my case I would change the text in the input filed to 6500). So, either change the value in the field when you edit it, or allow to read the values you actually display in there.

Ah, I see what you mean. The value is formatted in a "friendly" way with units, but what it accepts is a simple number. You're right, that isn't ideal. We will get it changed for the next version.
