HI Heiko, The way to do sophisticated lighting models on objects is to use shaders, I'm not familar with flight gear internals but I would have thought if you create a .osg file with a shader in place (like the glsl_*.osg examples in the OpenSceneGraph-Data distributed) and then load this as your aircraft model.
Other approaches would be to use a cube map approach, the osgcubemap provides an example of specular highlight which be roughly what you are after. Try: osgcubemap cessna.osg Also have a look at the osgFX::SpecularHighlights node as a means for decorating the aircraft subgraphs to create the effect. Robert.
