Dust cloud shadow, and it could use breaking up some I think.  It became
apparent that it was going to mess up the whole thing when I wanted to have the
dust roll in slower, it had to be closer for a longer time then.  That meant the
faked realism of it tends to lose credibility, or at least that's how I see it.
I had neglected to do anything about the dust trail of the hovercraft after
getting the height field in, it needs to follow the terrain better but I haven't
found a way to have puffs of dust showing only on the hilltops as it moves yet.
