In theory, yes. But in practice there is also a lot of inaccuracy in
altitude readings via GPS.


You are the absolute last person, flying a sim, to make this statement.
This is simply not borne out by those of us who actually do compare
the GPS to the altimeter.

There isn't any connection between flight simulation and GPS.

Do what you want, as long as I'm not your passenger and not in your
airspace. Some people learn best through experience.
