I think Melchior knows how to swap textures/materials at runtime. Probably it's time for fake lighted livery... In a Berlin building in Jon's Scenery Objects DB (Park Inn Hotel), I used a light emitting material together with a night texture (basically to darken the "shadow" areas) to fake an illuminated facade. Maybe this technique can also be applied to the stabilizer to light the company logo. I'm sure this would improve your scene enough to pass Curt's artistic judgement.
