Explanation of the rewards mechanism, (General) -

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

So, is this a reward system giving "postcards" for every airport I land in?

Hi Folks

No.

Wow.
If I was 12, I would try it. I am 47 and doubt I will live long enough to complete much of all that.
That could take years and years, even if all one was to do was to select an airport, use the map to airstart and then make a quick landing. Heck, it would be months to do that just for one state, much less the whole USA.

My hat is off to anyone that gets them all

Nah...

Hi again

Is this automatic, or do I have to select it from 'Missions' or something like that to enable it?
If it is automatic and counts even during Free Flight, I would put it in.
A lot of times, I will simply load Free Flight and then just type in a random ID for the airport and see what comes up. If it counts for those type flights, I'll give it go

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 earnable rewards,
e.g.
granted for landing at specific airports, (8 rewards, 17 airports total).

Visit Series
************
"Visit Series" rewards utilise this free-flight mechanism,
which reads the ICAOs from your logbook's recorded airport landings.

Totally automatic.
Works for all flights.

Suits your useage perfectly.
That quick-hit listing takes you to some interesting places.

Doh, hehe
Thanks. Okay I am going to use it. It will be kinda fun to be able to look back at rewards later on and see them for the different places I have been to.
I mean heck, I always consider a flight from parking to parking, so having these little rewards for that is pretty cool
I probably won't get them all, but I may be surprised by how many I actually do wind up with, after some time.

Good to hear.

Let us know how you get on.

I installed it, but something went very wrong.
I got terrible frame rates after putting it in. Went from 26 (locked) to around 1/2 that. Over unpopulated areas it was only about 13-14. Over cites 6-8
Normally I hold 26 except over large airports where it does drop as low as into the mid teens. But never ever anything like it did after installing this mod.

Thanks.
That explain everything perfectly.
I will give it go again tomorrow, using full install of all updates. I understand what to look for in regards to the default file(s).

No worries about the reinstall. It was due anyway. I have a lot of planes that I never fly so cleaning it out would have taken just as long, lol.

Thanks again for the help
