Dust/snow effect intensity based on environment conditions

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Dust and snow powder effect on clean runway, clean apron seems unrealistic, even if it is realistic in the general area around the hard surface.

Dust effect with more dense ground vegetation seems to be unrealistic.
