Hi Folks.
Some Stats
Default FSX contains 24,491 airports,
spread across 232 Countries & Dependent Territories.
15,203 are in the USA,
9,288 across the world's remaining Countries.
- How many have you visited ?
- Have you landed at all your region's or country's airports ?
Package
Visit some airports, earn some rewards !
The 'FS-Rewards - Visit Series - Countries - All-In-One (20130215)' package
is a compilation of all 'Visit Series - Countries' rewards released to-date.
Wrapped in a quick and easy All-In-One installer,
(avoiding downloading/installing/upgrading the 14 previously released packages).
Purpose
To reward those of you who already fly extensively,
or for those who don't yet,
to further encourage you to do so. ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation
A general explanation of the rewards mechanism -
Overview
In 'Free-Flight', (aka Sand-Box),
every time you successfully land at any airport,
that airport's ICAO code is recorded in your logbook.
FSX introduced a 'Reward' system.
Most flyers being familiar with those rewards granted for successfully flying 'Missions'.
In free-flight there's also a limited set of earnable rewards,
e.g.
- Granted for landing at specific airports, (8 rewards, for 17 specific airports total).
- Highest Altitude landing.
- Southernmost Landing.
- etc.
Visit Series
'Visit Series' rewards utilise this 'Free-Flight' landing's mechanism,
which reads the ICAOs from your logbook's recorded airport landings.
You can potentially earn rewards for landing at -
- individual airports,
- category related airports,
and/or in your -
- Country's Capital.
- Local area.
- State/Province/Region.
- Entire Country.
- Major Cities.
- Military.
