How about shadows made by the clouds, what would rock but I bet it would turn FPS fubar.

I got plane shadows when i upgraded my computer, it didnt hurt my frame rate. They could do cloud shadows like plane shadows.

And they do. 

Even really low ones (fog).

Night foggy approach into hiroshima bay yielded very positive results :)
