Not seeing the other plane is word - becaue it is there. Just imgaine
when both try to use the same runway at the same time...
So the solution is to display a template / generic plane.
One solution could be to use plane categories (size, number and type of
engines).
But there's a much easier and sensible solution:
The other plane is basically an Unknown Flight Object - so why aren't we
using the UFO model then?
The UFO also looks great at all possible speeds (i.e. a hovering
helicopter and a super sonic jet are both displayed well)
