UPDATE
I removed the blind landing vehicle and it makes no difference. The tower will not 'rodger' your request until you are within 2km and the lights do not come on until you are within 1km.

I have done a little research on this issue and posted on the Mission Building forum at UBI about it.
There are two issues with this mission...lights and position of the ILS tx object on the map.
- The glidepath angle appears to be around 3deg which is correct. The acknowledgement "Roger" to turn the lights on will not be heard until about 300ft on final (just under 2km) so the lights are not switched on until very late. However, there is a further issue...
- The object to transmit the signal for the ILS in this mission has been placed too close to the extended cetreline of the runway resulting in you being at least another 1km further out (a total of 3km) when you are on the glideslope at 300ft. If you follow the signal it will fly you into the ground 1km short of the runway.
- It helps to re-position the tx object at least 500m futher out on the extended cetreline to get the glidepath correct to arrive at the runway. I believe this also helps in getting the lights to come on just a little sooner as you are now closer to the runway when at 300ft.
It certainly helps to add approach lights (light4) in a line before the threshold, but an increase in the distance to accept a call for lights "on" in the new patch would certainly help....please?
