Hi Folks

I've released worldwide coverage sets of 'Visit Series' rewards.

FSX - Rewards - Visit Series - Countries - COLLECTION - STARTER PACKS

Purpose
*******
To reward those of you who already fly extensively,
or for those who don't yet,
to further encourage you to do so. ;)

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 rewards granted for successfully flying "Missions".

However,
in free-flight there's also a limited set of rewards,
e.g. granted for landing at specific airports, (8 rewards, 17 airports total).

Visit Series
************
"Visit Series" rewards utilise this free-flight mechanism,
potentially granting rewards for landing at airports in your -
- Local area.
- State/Province/Region.
- Country.

World Coverage
**************
Installing both COLLECTION - STARTER PACKs
should give entire FSX world "Country" coverage,
at least at the BASIC level, of 1 reward per "Country".

For countries with large numbers of airports
MASTER rewards of increased granulation, (multiple rewards per "Country"),
are currently available for several of these.

Further MASTER reward sets will be released as & when completed.

Some of the available rewards -

If you want to check which airports your logbook has recorded landings at -
Jean-Christophe Arnulfo created a nice FSX Logbook Viewer (fsxlogbook 1.00D),
Includes summary info, and sortable lists.

sounds like a wonderful idea!! Thank you for building this for the FSCommunity. This would actually give me a reason to go to all the 3rd-world countries and to do an around-the-world flight. Once again, thanks.

Hi Folks

For ease of installation
all 'Visit Series' packages now use a ClickTeam executable installer.

The installer will -
- Detect your FSX folder location.
- Place the rewards & matching REWARD_CONTENTS.txt files into the appropriate sub-folder.
- Place an appropriately named uninstaller and README into your FSX root folder.

Previous Users
**************
No need to download.
Reward content is identical.
Installation mechanism is the only change.
