I think the issue is more to do with the translation of the error message into German.

The English version reads “Your flight could not be modelled. Check your planned altitudes and aircraft performance”.

Yep, the German translation is wrong. 
And apart, Idin’t like the way to set altitude in SkyDemon. So I don't set it, my fly log is mainly RED !! I fly mainly straight trought the montains and I does not get any special warning in flight. I' m not following the vertical line but made my own altitude in real time.
Perhaps if there will be something more easy way to set it I will use it. But so far I didn’t understand how to proceed apart in the graph like a finger in the nose, wich is boring (to me).
However it is good to know about this curious behavior and the fact that SkyDemon refuse to dig the airfield. 
Have a nice night.

If you press a leg either in the chart or the virtual radar view it will bring up the ‘What’s here’ pop-up with the leg itself at the top under the subtitle ‘Route’. Touch that and the leg details will be shown. You can set the leg level there, and step back and forth through the remaining legs using the ‘Prev’ and ‘Next’ buttons top right. Much less messy than sticking your finger up your nostril. 

Thank you GrahGraham, I didn’t know that,
 I will stop to fight with my finger on the vertical chart ;-)

Did you know you can make the finger method easier by changing the height of the virtual radar window by sliding your finger up and down the left hand edge?

Yes I know that one, but tanks anyway.
Some time I have been surprised when I was  flying high that the base is switching with an offset of 5000ft. (Instead of gnd).
That is not easy when you have to take the décision to descent or not, but you can't see what is below 5000ft ?🥴
Since, I think I fixed it.
Actually I'm searching how to extend the horizontal range (scale) in flight. Is there any dynamic way to zoom the horizontal ?
