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.

Thanks Paul! Always liked the "VIsit Series". Fun seeing all the flags on your "wall".

Hello BASys. I have installed the rewards pack. As soon as I finish my round the world in a Piper Archer (with some small Camel Sopwith flights for variety), I'll start checking out the cumulative rewards package. Looks like a fun way to do some flying.
 
Here's what my "wall" looks like after installing the "all in one" package. :jump:
