I don't see how that would change the resulting TAS.
It won't but it will make it easier when doing the testing.

Are you doing these offline or online?

If online, have someone take up an airplane with an OAT gauge and record the temperature.

If off line, try a plane with an OAT at the same location as you test. Record the temperature at various altitudes. To make sure the temps are consistant, I would re-enter the same location/mission a few times to make sure the sea level OAT remains the same.

One thought, has anyone checked to make sure the weathering slider does not effect performance? Aircraft will lose performance over time as the engine/propeller wears as well as the finish.
