SimFX Dust/Dirt color not matching the surface.

Question:

When taking off from dirt strips SimFX doesn't match the dust to the color of the runway dirt.
Answer:

This is by design, It's not a color match, but more or less a color adaptation driven by the ground color.

Dust and particles from the ground aren’t necessarily the exact same color as the ground, therefore what we show is a desaturated and brightened version of the ground texture. If it was color-matched perfectly, it would look unrealistic and horrible on very dark or very bright surfaces (such as that really weird light grass).
