Depending on what aircraft in the sim, you could check out the Aeroperu 603 accident. Static port blockage caused erroneous altitude and airspeeds. Altitude was sent to ATC via transponder - ATC believed the aircraft was well above terrain but the aircraft crashed into the ocean a while later.

If I remember correctly this was a B757 or B767. Wikipedia has more information, I'm sure.
