Not to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, but is there actual evidence suggesting that exhaust smoke is produced at 100%+ throttle from any of the aviation engines represented in the game? It seems to me, given that in internal combustion engines black exhaust smoke is the product of incompletely burned fuel, that this would be a strange thing for engines running at wide open throttle (highest intake airflow) to produce if the mixture is properly adjusted.

I'm sure it can be done, but I wonder if it should be.
