Hello, a very good day/evening etc to all,
On cbi maps, or indeed other PTO, Asia maps .. are some aircraft, like Hurricane for instance, supposed to appear with their tropical filters?
Did they all have to have trop filters to operate in those theatres?
Understandably the desert aircraft would need their filters, but in far east jungle tropics?
Sorry in advance for this ignorance.

Up to 409 we had only three types of maps: summer, winter and desert therefore several PTO maps from the old days are classified as desert and that is why you will see the tropical filter showing in the pacific and CBI. From 4.10 onward additional theaters like PTO, CBI, ETO were added.

Thanks Frankiek,
Only that I chose a  QMB mission, using the Burma map, and the Hurricane MKIIb didn't have it's trop filter attached. I thought that it would automatically be there, when desert, CBI, Pacific maps are used and that skin type is used.
Was the stock Hurricane MkIIb.
Ok.

As Frankiek says, the map selection isn't perfect. That's why Knochenlutscher has made independent trop versions of the Hurricanes and Spits, along with incorporating some excellent 3d improvements.

Thanks.
I have those in my #WAW, and they are very good indeed .
Shame there are no other skins for them.
