Depends... If it is the atmospheric pressure and temperature, the same way we use it for the solenoid, the delay really is no problem. I have several planes still running with a separate pressure/temp sensor feeding info back to the TX over telemetry, and the TX by means of a LUA script correcting the solenoid output.

But if it is intended to compensate for the airbleed, that won't work for reasons I described earlier: impossible to mathematically describe the correlation between that atmospheric data and the airbleed requirement.
