The list is designed to help you quickly choose an altitude in whole thousands of feet. We could add the five-hundreds as well, but then of course the list would be twice as long, which would be a disadvantage.

I’m familiar with the Option of typing any value on top; I use SD mostly with my IPAD und for me a picklist feels more comfortable; and yes, a list twice as long would be a disadvantage; I‘m using SD for VFR flying, so I‘d prefer the list with the x500 values suggestions for a solution 1) list with two columns? 1000 1500 2000 2500 etc. 2) different lists depending on the preselection of flight rules in case of VFR 1500, 2500, 3500 etc. in case of IFR or MIXED: 1000, 2000, 3000 … for some more Arguments see also http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic33507.aspx?Update=1 Edited 5/24/2021 6:13:15 PM by Michael Sartori

I always had to retype the complete number. it‘s realized in the current version as mentioned above in case of preselection VFR you get 1500, 2500, 3500 etc. in case of preselection IFR: 1000, 2000, 3000 … in case of preselection MIXED: 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 … quite comfortable now
