July 9, 201114 yr Commercial Member it would change the way it flies a bit. If the pressure is lower the plane would have to fly at a faster speed to not stall. They would need a higher rotation speed. I was wondering if that stuff is modeled in FSXThe actual air pressure, yes, but changing the setting in the plane will not make it fly differently. You can ratchet the thing to whatever setting you like and it'll go on just fine. Kyle Rodgers

As far as the reading on the ASI, it'll be exactly the same as a low density altitude condition at the same weight. Ryan Gamurot

July 9, 201114 yr Yes, because the air density is less, less air is pushed over the wings, but also through the Pitot tube. So IAS wil always stay the same with different pressures, you just have to go faster over the ground to achieve the same air-pressure/flow.
