St. Elmo's fire #2779

**Is your feature request related to a problem?No

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented St. Elmo's fire is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a corona discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a strong electric field in the atmosphere (such as those generated by thunderstorms or created by a volcanic eruption).

St. Elmo's fire is a bright blue or violet glow. Often accompanying the glow is a distinct hissing or buzzing sound. It is sometimes confused with ball lightning. In the picture from the cockpit , it is the background blue-violet glow and not the spark discharge across the cockpit window. St Elmo's fire is akin to corona discharge from a negative electrode and not the spark, when the air finally breaks down and conducts.

Aerosoft has this feature also as part of their Airbus package. Together with working wipers I would be a happy camper 🥇
