FSX Boeing 737-800 Engine Smoke

Boeing 737-800 engine smoke effects bring a subtle, realistic exhaust haze to the default jet, adding atmosphere on takeoff and climb without overpowering the view. Designed for FSX, it updates the smoke system with tuned effect placement and supports quick in-flight toggling for a clean, believable trail.
