Hidden airports changes

[analog prism]

Hidden airports, although pretty fun to find, are.... pretty much useless , they just act as a funny little easter-egg, i propose a couple changes to this idea

1: Airport recon jobs
a special, orange or blue rarity job, which will ONLY appear in air force bases, and only doable with recon aircraft, like surveillance, you will need to fly to a location, however, it will be unmarked on the map and instead you'll have a distance from airport metric, much like SaR, once you are above the airport, at a relatively low altitude (around... 2.5km maybe?) the job will be considered complete and you will receive a BIG reward

2: Mark found airports on the map
When doing a recon job or finding airports on your own, you will mark the airport on the map with a small gray question mark both in the symbol and the airport's name (for example, ???) once you successfully flown over the airport, this question mark will disappear and will be replaced by the regular airport's name and symbol (heliport, regional, afb etc etc) once you have ENDED FLIGHT in the location, and it will be on your map forever

this will not only make finding hidden airports easier, and more fun, but also make them have a purpose in-game and, as a completionist, this would make me very happy, so i'm sure i may share the same excitement of finally finding all hidden airports and having them ALL marked on the map with other 100%ers here

oh

also, hidden airports once discovered

will be available in the job offerings for the game regularly

however they WON'T appear normaly

so, as a recap and/or tl;dr

go to air force base with recon aircraft -> get special "recon of ???" job -> fly to destination -> fly over hidden airport and put it as a ? on the map and get moolah -> land on it to discover it and mark it on the map, once you've done so it'll behave like a regular airport marked airport with jobs n such

once you've found ENOUGH airports

there will be some sort of number on the map, dictating how many are left for you to find

Adding onto this, it would be nice if hidden airports permanently showed up on the map after you've discovered it

[analog prism]

that's the point.

they'll be marked as regular airports once you discovered them

[unkempt raft]

I read the first point and completely missed that one ngl

But yeah it'd be very convenient to have

[night river]

yes

new meta if it gets added.

The whole point of the airport being hidden is so that it's...hidden

ngl the logistical work of having individual players' maps being dedicated to them? script death

[analog prism]

yeah, it's hidden until it's found and then people make their own maps with all hidden airport locations

[simple fjord]

nah, best they stay hidden permanently
