Good day! Some airports of Ukraine (UKOO, UKBB, UKKK) are underground when approaching. Every time you have to dive at the last moment to have time to land and brake. But if you choose one of these airports and appear in it, then there is no such problem. Is it possible to solve this problem? Thank you!
In the mobile version of FS Global there are no problems with this

I tried Odessa, it looks as if the airport is in a big sunken baking tray (sides indicated with red arrows) AND the ILS lines up on a taxiway (above the yellow star), surely some mistake?
I later read that the airport built a new runway, the old one becoming a parallel taxiway. The Aero' database presumably has not got the change.

In the mobile version of FS Global there are no problems with thisThe Odessa ILS is also aligned with the parallel taxiway in iPadOS mobile, the elevation was correct but I had done some 'positioning' (got a bit lost) before getting lined up so it might have registered in the sim as a 'local flight'?

Thanks for pointing this out. We will look into this issue, it's likely a fault on our side with the airport files itself.

There seem to be many airports around the world with this problem. Some airports have raised areas around them (Or the airport is sunk in the ground). Some airports have raised areas between their runways and taxiways.
For example: ZPPP

Sorry, I'm using a translator and I didn't quite understand your question. But thanks for supporting this post

I did not repeat the mobile long flight and arrival. I had flown too close to the airport before moving to where the ILS approach is started.
You say that in PC Aerofly the airport is OK with a flight starting at that airport.

LFPG, KMSP, and LSGG also possess faulty elevation

The taxiway may be the secondary runway of this airport. You chose it when planning the route, so ILS will guide you to the taxiway because it is right in the middle of the taxiway. For example, this is also the case at Auckland Airport in New Zealand. I have been troubled for a long time. Yes, because I chose it inadvertently

This has been a problem for many airports around the world for a long long time. Never got fixed. But to be honest I’d rather like to see these problems fixed than flying a new A350. The terrain issue really reduce the realism of the sim. What’s worse, it makes many airports and runways not flyable. It’s funny that it is said that the developers think this problem is not important and has lower working priority. I have no idea what’s in their mind.

Faulty logic,
it is so very sad that faults are allowed to persist.

Plus the taxiway lights broken on most airports, and they never fix that
