Altitude Pre-Selector Am I missing something?

[Simonrob]

Enjoy flying the Saab. one thing niggles though, having to click multiple times to select altitude.  I appreciate the altitude selector goes in hundred feet increments, but having to click the button so many times is annoying.  I guess in the real aircraft, you can twist, to move rapidly to the altitude you want, and it looks, from videos posted in early reviews, like you used to be able to do this.  I've searched through the available keyboard commands. am I missing something? 10 clicks per thousand feet? I'm using a Mac.

You could always assign any desired keyboard strokes for the altitude alerter.  I've had the default 'Autopilot altitude up' and ''Autopilot altitude up' keys assigned to my numpad + and - keys for some time.  These default autopilot commands work just fine on the Saab.  Hold the assigned key down for accelerated scrolling, or tap for more precise 100ft adjustments.
