    Dust animation behind wheels

    Would it be possible to turn off the small dust animation behind the aircraft wheels while taxiing at slow speeds. Just my opinion, but it's not necessary. Is it?

    Why? The dust there is extremely light and tends to fly in the air at the slightest movement...

    On the contrary, what we have now is a great effect, especially how it rises and disperses. But still not as much as seen in real life.
    The current dust and smoke effects are excellent, and not frame heavy as we've seen in the past.

    What I think is hilarious, since the DWT add-on, now when I fly the channel map I have those dust animation. Makes no difference where I'm taxiing from, grass strip or hanger

    Hehe, can't say I've noticed having not been on the Channel map much recently. I wonder if effects can even be map dependent ?
    I really did like IL2 1946 prop wash too, especially over water.

    The desert dust effects only appear on the desert map.

    But that's not yellow desert dust, just dry grey English country soil that gets blown up by the propwash.
