Not too noticeable until about 8,000'. Then it gets noticeable. Above
11,000' it gets very, very noticeable. Go to Pike's Peak and see what
happens!


Yesterday I tried flying a Piper J-3 and a Cessna 172 over the top of
(I think) Mount Rainier (the tall mountain near KSEA), and they both
seemed to struggle as we approached the altitude of the peak. I
turned around and went back when it became obvious that I wasn't going
to make it. Not sure if it was engine power that lacked, or just air
density that was too low, or what. I was flying for fun and did not
check the altimeter.


Does MSFS let you set whether you have oxygen in the plane?
