This looks very cool.  Nice effect!

One note is that on the layers 2, 3, and 4 that have no elevation defined,
there  is some z-fighting going on with the runways on my Voodoo3 if the
airport runway is at or close to sea level.  And the (sea level) water is a
greyish color.

Commenting the "undefined" layers out _or_ setting them to 
<elevation-ft>90000</elevation-ft> solved the problem.

Best,

Jim
