Hallo!
I've been using a smoke replacement file from http://www.railpage.org.au/steam4me/trainsim/index.html for some time, and I think it looks much more realistic than the default one, but the ace-file for the smoke is not the only thing to have an influence on the look of the smoke. The colour and amount of smoke can also be adjusted by changing some values in the eng-file. According to Rudolf Richter's manual of eng-files values smaller than 1 in the SteamMaxSmokeUnitsReleaseRate parameter will generate white exhaust, higher values black smoke.
Keep on steamin'!
