- 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.

Purpose
To reward those of you who already fly extensively,
or for those who don't yet,

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.
- etc.

This sounds cool....thanks for the heads up Cool Cool Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
