It may be an idea to convert the flashlight to a compositor light.

This would probably be better because all 3D elements are properly lightened that way, including the plane outside :)

The basic idea is to calculate the position and angle depending on the current view position and direction.

Cool would be if the flashlught could be used by the walker outside the plane.

Even cooler would be if we could use the mouse pointer to direct the light. This would make light direction and view direction independent.
