Mud on plane?

I’m not sure how to get mud on my plane and it was one of the features I was most excited for with MSFS2024. I’ve been landing in fields in an XCub with big wheels on, and I’m not sure if there is a setting somewhere or what. Does anyone know how to get it to work? (I’m on xbox)

I’ve only had it happen once, with the cessna caravan as you can see in the screenshot. That’s the one and only time that it happened though. I’ve tried driving round what look like muddy fields with several of the new fs2024 planes whilst having heavy rain, and nothing.

I see the dust and grass blowing about in the helicopters, and it looks great if you hover over water and watch the ripples radiating out from the rotor wash, but until you pointed it out I hadn’t noticed that it doesn’t work with the planes, although they do kick up a lot of dust behind them in the right conditions. Bye the way, the screenshot I posted wasn’t in dev mode, just normal free flight. It’s still a mystery to me how the dirt got there as it wasn’t even wet.
