Also runway is more like two-lane car road with lots of terrain altitude variation.
Also at least ILS rwy 15 takes aircraft to thick forest approx 1,5 - 2,0 miles before threshold. This might be though issue with runway length mentioned in start of this topic but defintely no forest clearance on approach path at all.
But request update on ESKS, it is currently like uncontrolled small airstrip, not ICAO rated airport.

I did a double check with Navigraph and it appears the runway has been extended at the 15 side, which is missing in MSFS.
There is a payware ESKS but it hasn’t been well received. Besides, the base game should provide accurate information. Maybe with the release of scenery gateway I can fix this myself but I’ve heard mixed reactions about it.
Here’s a comparison between MSFS and Navigraph. Notice where the plane is located on the runway.

Any info on getting this airport up-to-date? Flying often to ESKS and would be nice to get this airport right.
Let’s see if they have gotten it right in 2024
