Cannot set Altitude to 35100 via voice command

[smoothchat 99]

For some strange reason, I cannot set the MCP altitude to 35100 using a voice command.

 

I have tried  "Set altitude 3 5 1 hundred" but I get ignored. (despite the words being correctly interpreted and displayed by the recognition software)

 

"Set altitude 3 5 zero hundred" gives me 35000 and works fine as does "Set Altitude 3 5 thousand"

 

Am I to use the "Set Flight Level" command instead ?  as this appears to work.

Setting such altitude doesn't make any sense. Why should you set it at all?

Flying in China or Mongolia perhaps? http://www.chinarma.cn/u/cms/www/201405/0614161748o9.jpg

You'll need to set that one manually I think.

I'm pretty sure "Set flight level 3 5 1" works OK.

 

Anything above the transition level should be set by FL not altitude. I think most TA in China are 3000m (9800ft)
