Just curious. I get the impression that RWY 15 into PARO (VQPR) is slightly forward. By which I mean, if you look at real-world videos, the mountain on the left doesn’t seem to be as steep.
In any event, could it be that the GPS coordinates for the airport are slightly off? Or the fact that IF 18-X only has 15m scenery rendition means that the mountains on either side could be slightly off?
i also felt that on my Various failed attempts lo land an a320 tgere. the mountain to the right side of start of runway 15 is just too close as if its almost on the runway unlike in some real life videos.
I agree with @niks.goen - my theory is that it’s the IF terrain imagery. Trust me @Julio_Cesar, that low and all, it does make a difference. Your image does seem to suggest the runway starts slightly earlier (is aft) via a vis thé mountain.
Anyway, appreciate it only makes the landings harder.
That real world pic seems to show a rise immediately adjacent to the end of the runway. Hard to tell but there might be a road or something above the runway. I’m not arguing it’s perfect but it seems very close given the limit of the elevation data and imagery they have.
