Hi Folks.

 

Some Stats

spread across 232 Countries & Dependent Territories.

7,288 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. :wink:

 

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.

- Military.

- etc.

Thought there were over 24000 airports?

24,490 says one of my editing tools. But Paul's work may not reflect closed airports?

 

Now if I could just combine what's on different computers I'd have 16,000~ and all the Rewards to show for it! B)

Thought there were over 24000 airports?

Awwwww Ffffffff......

 

Probably couldn't make a more embarassing typo

if I'd tried.

 

Cheers for spotting that gents.

 

Should read -

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.

 

AFAICS -

Default FSX contains 24,491 airports, (actually 24,490. 1 airport was assigned 2 seperate ICAOs).

EDIT - Ahhhaaaah. Now spotted where the typo originated.

He he.

 

Anyway, cool reward system. I'll be getting it when I've reinstalled FSX with FTX Global. Current FSX isn't really flyable outside of Europe and the US unless it has been covered by UTX or ORBX.
