Cannot set barometric altitude hold

[skypickle]

I was starting the JSOW training seesion and was trying to set barometric altitude hold. I could not get 'BALT' to get a colon. In the attached track, you see the relevant buttons being pressed. Also, 'CPL' never appears in the saved track although I did see it appear while in cockpit.

 

What am I doing wroing that prevents BALT from getting a colon?

Usually if your stick is not centered perfectly, you cannot engage BAlt. Check your stick and add a deadzone if necessary. Otherwise slightly nudging the stick around if you know it is always offcentered can also help.
