Got these little tweaks quite awhile ago but just noticed that they are available at the OZx download page.
Tired of kicking up those boulders while taxiing around on dirt fields?  Or throwing all those snowballs out behind the aircraft taxiing in the snow?  Well there are a couple of replacement files for the Effects folder in FSX that will eliminate these unrealistic things from FSX.  Simple replace the original two effects files (back them up of course) with the new files and its done!

scroll down a bit to find the files.

As above, thanks for the info.

I'll give 'em a try.  My original solution was just to rename the applicable files as *.xxx.  Taxying at KORS recently on a damp day the poor old Cub looked like it had wheel brakes on fire with all the "effect" coming off the wheels...

If flying was really difficult, only Armourers would be allowed to do it...

As far as the amount of dust/snow kicked up, that is not changed.  All the new effects do is eliminate the clods and chunks being spit out with the dust/snow.  One could probably alter some numbers in the file to reduce the amount of snow/dirt being shown but I'm not positive about that one.  Might need some investigation.
