I have notice that aircraft movement ranges are reduced by 2 (or more)hexes when taking off from airports...is this correct or is something wrong with my system?

I'm affraid the manual does not say a word about this

This is due to the elevation changes. Moving up (or down) an elevation equals one movement point. Cool

I may be wrong in this but i believe that in 'low' level flight an aircraft actually encounters more drag and wind resistance than it would at a higher altitude. Similiarly, at the highest altitude it takes more effort for a plane to keep adrift because the air is thinner.

So mid level flight is the optimum conditions for the aircraft design, so it gets better range out of each move.

This is correct, and as such the movement rates are adjusted as such. However, this does not apply to the V-22 Osprey because it moves much faster at a low altitude than at medium.
