correct as-is MIM 72G Chaparral missile - NO SMOKE

[Schmidtfire]

MIM 72G Chaparral produce no smoke when launched in DCS World 2.9

Not reduced or low visibility smoke, NOTHING AT ALL.

In real life it produces lots of smoke: 

 



4 years ago in DCS World, the Chaparral did produce smoke. Like in this Grim Reapers video:
 

Something has obviously happened to it over the years and should be corrected for DCS World 2.9.

How much smoke the rocket motor produces should very much depend on the version used. Unfortunately, this is where using real life images and videos become difficult as only videos and pictures showing specifically MIM-72E or G (which have M121 smokeless motors) will be accurate.

In the description of the first video, it lists the variant as MIM-72A - so not appropriate to the G we have in DCS. I couldn't find anything on the image, but if it isn't an E or G, then it also won't be an accurate depiction of how much smoke there should be.

Everywhere I look the M121 motor is described as "smokeless" and at least according to this:

A new M121 smokeless solid rocket motor eliminated the smoke plume of the original rocket [...]

If this description is accurate, then this is probably correct as is.

The MIM-72G is propelled by the Hercules M121 smokeless solid-rocket motor. It has the same top speed and ceiling, but the range has been increased to 30 000 m. The new M250 warheads is a 12.6 kg annular blast munition. The minimum effective altitude and range of the MIM-72G remain unchanged from the MIM-72A.
