Ah, haven't thought of that! Well, I guess then it'll have to be aircraft-
side...

A pity, but I see your point! Would be nice though, to have these kinds of
phenomenon globally available (thinking of wingmen, missiles, AI aircraft).
But since there's no way to differentiate between static objects and
moving objects - at least as far as the renderer is concerned - it's just
burning computing power for nearly nothing.

Thanks for clarifying!
