Resurfacing a topic that’s come up before, it would be great if there was a digital altitude indicator on the UI/HUD when flying an aircraft.
When this was first suggested it likely only applied to SD/PD/MD pilots which were rather limited. With civilian aircraft now being a thing through SAAA, and an important part of their guidelines being around maintaining proper altitude for the airspace you’re in, having a digital altimeter displayed on the HUD would be extremely helpful and I’d argue is just as important for aircraft as having a speedometer is for cars.
I believe the original post even contained a suggestion on how to implement it:

Yes there's probably many that don't know about this and I thank you for brining it up in that case, however it does not achieve what is needed when it comes to proper airspace utilization and communications due to it's lack of granularity. Furthermore, when the aircraft performs any banking maneuver (or even subtle rocking during relatively stable flight) the bar swings quite wildly, making it hard to read.
