I appreciate the work and effort your mod required, but I feel that I must point out that the dusty takeoffs were a real issue in the second world war, and into korea, pilots often stating that they were almost taking off blind. I also found a few photos of, admittedly modern, but still prop aicraft taking off from dirt runways:

I was next to a P-47 as it made a turn on the taxiway, and it kicked up 1 hell of a dust cloud.

Good points but my concern was for "all grass" fields that were in England during WWII (some were concrete).

I would kid the airfield's grounds-keeper to water down the field before we took off. His response was "it would make the field muddy :mrgreen: "

Notable are the scenes from the movie "Battle of Britain" with the Spits and Hurricanes taking off - no dust clouds as they scrambled.
