The flag you're looking for isn't documented, and unfortunately
I can't remember the right one.  However, it doesn't quite do what
you're anticipating.

Back when the GTs first came out there was an option to start up
a "missile defense" system that pops up out of those funny brown
rectangles that live down in the swamp.  All it consists of are
several wireframe half-spheres scattered through the swamp area.
A call to the local dog guru revealed that the domes were part
of an attempt to develop ground defense missiles that would make
it harder to strafe the runway.  This portion of dog was never
finished, and the domes are only partially good for pylon turns.

Tips for aspiring dog aces:  Try flying NOE (Nap Of the Earth)
through the 3D mountains without crashing.  See how low you can
get.  After you get that done, try saving your flight into a 
file and then chase yourself through the mountains.  Great practice.
