The airport terrain is too well flattened. This airport is actually on a small plateau. If you come in too low for either runway 12 or 30 you will actually hit a cliff! In X-Plane, the highway, US-65, on the approach to runway 30 is elevated above runway elevation. If you follow the VASI glide path you will impact the street lights. In actuality, this highway is well below field elevation. See the attached street side view from the highway that shows the runway on the flat graveled area well above the road. I'm hoping this can be fixed.
This may get improved when new scenery mesh is cut for XPlane 12 - the boundary of this airport is placed very well, so it should not flatten too much terrain.
