To some degree yes, but it would be a fairly invasive hack. Thanks to the  
general structure in terms of the property tree, subsystems can  
potentially reach much deeper into others than they necessarily should.

So I think a weather system should confine itself to report what the  
conditions of the atmosphere are and not force rendering settings  
aircraft-side. I'm afraid that if you want aircraft react to ash in the  
air, you'll have to code it yourself into the aircraft.
