I was shooting an approach with FG and noticed that when I pitch up the
aircraft, the VASI lights turn white. Similarly, when I pitch down the
aircraft, the VASI lights turn red. I loaded the UFO and verified the VASI
lights change color when the UFO is stationary and the pitch of the UFO
varies.

If you could define N multiple textures overtextures, you would get N^2
possible textures, which would really break up the patterns for a small
memory cost.
And while you're on the subject of "We should try", I've always wondered
about using multitextures with the top one off the ground. You c

The best thing I've seen for this is to enable anisotropic texture
filtering for your card.

Hi,
looks good. Maybe someone could add this to the bo105? (Melchior?)

Hi,
is it planned to add shadow to the world, at least the shadow of the
aircraft?

You can actually add a shadow layer to the model directly and keep it
at ground level via various model animation directives:
