The weather finally generated a true low-visibility landing. This is Shawnee Regional KSHL today using Live Weather.
That’s the exact moment those threshold lights came into view. LNM holds me at about .12 miles and 1100’. Airport elevation is 1073’. All I can say is thank goodness for WT’s Velocity Vector, I hit AP disconnect and continued landing.

I wish it was a Cat I. Alt differential was under 150’ and slant range to RVR was under 800 feet. I should have aborted long before this point.
It is CAT I though. It’s nice, and I wish the sim could do worse, but it is CAT I.
You can see the runway threshold and even the PAPI. So easily more than 800m vis and ceiling. If there were approach lights, you would be seeing most of them.
CAT II landings you can’t really see anything until the threshold lighting pops into view, I know, I’ve done them!
