Your cities, on your profile, on the map and in your missions
City visits went live yesterday: fly three minutes inside a city and the day counts, and more days lift the city to the next tier. Until today that progress lived only in the bell and in the timer pill. Airports already had a profile card, their own page and rings on the map. Cities now get the same.
On a profile there is a new card, Cities. It lists the cities a pilot has visited, sorted by days, with the tier as a coloured dot. The first eight are shown and a button opens the rest. The top of the profile has a Cities tile, and the short text about the pilot now says how many cities they have visited and in how many countries. Like the airport card, it shows days and tiers and never dates. If "Show my name on airport pages" is off, the list stays private and the card prints only the numbers. The same switch now covers airports, city pages and both profile cards.
My cities (/my/cities) is your own log. It has every city with its country, tier, days, first and last visit, and how many days are left to the next tier. You can sort it, search it and filter it by tier or country. Cities from the list of the 100 biggest carry their rank. You'll find the page in the account menu next to My airports.
On the maps a visited city gets a ring in its tier colour, on the full map and in the game. The city card says how many days you have there, your tier, and whether today already counts.
On a city page a new block lists the regulars: pilots with the most days there, plus who visited most recently. The names are loaded in your browser and are never written into the page or its structured data, so a search engine sees only the numbers.
Missions. There is a daily mission, "Visit a city you have not visited before", and a weekly one, "Visit 3 cities". The Pilot chapter of your path gained a step: visit five cities.
Bremen. Yesterday a pilot flew over Bremen and the timer never started. The city list behind visits had only five German cities, so Bremen did not exist for the clock. Regional capitals now count too, and most of them by their real city limits from OpenStreetMap, the same source as the borders of the bigger cities. Bremen now counts all the way north to Farge, 23 km from the centre, while Delmenhorst and Lilienthal next door do not. Where OpenStreetMap has no city-sized outline, a small circle around the centre stands in: about 2.5 km for a town of 50,000, up to 5 km for a big city. It covers only the middle of town, so fly over the centre there. These cities have no landing page yet, so their links go to My cities. You can also become mayor of them.
Open the map to see your rings, or fly somewhere new and let the three minutes run.
