Douglas DC-3 Smoke Effect

By Malcolm Steck, this addition introduces engine smoke effects to the default DC-3, adding a SMOKESYSTEM with two lines under the [SMOKESYSTEM] heading, referencing fx_smoke_rx1. The notes describe limitations in the simulation environment that restrict fine tuning of smoke trails, and users place the lines in Aircraft.cfg accordingly.
