First of all, there would be the question why you actually need a Smoke. IMHO if you are most of the time at the controls of the Helo yourself you are doing something wrong and that would be the only reason to have them. Otherwise the Navmap provides you with a (automatic) MAD marker, which can be promoted to other plattforms as well.
And the hacking of DLL's or the EXE is a big NO NO, which in return would be the only reason to use VC++ (or whatever). For doctrines and the like you just need Notepad (or a Texteditor of your choice).
The last part, like modding buoys and stuff would (IMHO) involve hacking of DLLs or the like and hence be a big no. Maybe not, I'm not sure whats possible with the DB, which however would lead to the question why I would sacrifice even one of the buoys on the Helo or P3 for something I don't need and which would only be a visual "highlight" for myself.
Don't get me wrong, from a realism point your question is valid. Those smoke markers exist in real life and are needed there for sure, but gameplay wise its not needed, because SCS has compensated with other features and functions for the lack of them, and actually improved it (you can easily promote it to others).
