While landing on runway 7 at Saipan Intl, the NDB (SN) appears unrealistically too tall.  Even on glideslope, I would guesstimate that I clear it by no more than 50 feet.  Any lower than prescribed glideslope and slightly to the right, it's a definite collision.  The 3rd picture below is from Google maps streetview.
Anywho, lovely map.

Glad to see this is reported, I was curious about this as well because a friend of mine crashed into it on final approach in MP when we both flew on Marianas map for the first time ever so we could share our first impressions.

Yeah, the NDBs (all of them) are unrealistically tall, and their LOD basically makes them invisible until you're within 1km. In aircraft with reduced visibility (such as the MiG-21bis) it's especially annoying.

 

Here's my thread on the subject.
