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.
