What is flying without a good view?
In my opinion, you're actually depriving yourself of not just maps you don't care for if you stopped at 4.04
In the latest official version of the sim, you have not just new maps, of places like NW Burma and Norway, but you have aircraft that are crucial to the PTO- such as the Ki-21. Also, many objects have been added to the sim since the 4.04 days
if you were to have this fully-functional Slot map right now, you would be missing things that could very much help you build campaigns, and even more to the point- most campaign builders will make the campaigns they make to the latest version, so you would be missing out on some great campaigns made using this map
On a slightly different note, my AVG campaign has been re-made and expanded to include much much more than just what WTCF offered- it's 71 missions now and also uses the P-40E, with a host of custom skins including unique skins for about 50 AVG machines, but without 4.07...you can't play it. I could never wait for a Rangoon, Magwe, Loiwing, Yunnan, Thailand, Kwangsi, etc etc map to be made. If I had all those maps right now I might consider re-making it, but I don;t and...to be honest? I'll still be waiting for years to have all nine locations we don't have maps for, that I need for that campaign
But anyway, I really suggest bringing your install up to at least 4.08. It's more than maps and not just some fantasy planes. You're really limiting yourself in my opinion. Once you have the slot, you still won't have the planes and objects I do if you are at 4.04
