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.
