Real life PAPI and runway lights have very high intensity and can be 
distinguish from air easily but the raster display has limitation and 
can not display that high intensity.
Usually FFS uses caligraphic (not using raster but pinpoint to have high 
intensity) but we can't use that method.
Only thing we can do is larger the size. It's better than not to be 
seen. I like it.

Yes, this might be rembrandt issue.
