Would it be possible to put your travel history in personals? When trying to do the achievements that require X per city or drug runs it can become confusing if not impossible to remember which city you have been to recently. Especially if you fly before leaving(signing-off) and forget where you came from when you log on the next day, few days later. I understand there is a perk to tell you which city you are weakest in however my response to that would be yes it tells you your lowest but that could be by only 1 or 2 and then you flew across the country for nothing.

 

Anyways just a suggestion about making a log of your travel in some way thank you.

It could be a decent idea. You could have a personal for it, get like accumulated air miles, so you can see where you have been etc. the only thing is though, it maybe that city specific achievements might have to be adjusted to balance this out?

I'd quite like this if it was doable.

this sounds definitly doable since if you dont use timer bar you see a message "you landed in X" so why not move that to personals

Sounds really good. Could be role-played as keeping a copy of your travel tickets.

I like this idea.

Yes I see the suggestions and I agree that achievements and other things could be useful but to begin with I was only hoping to get a history line in personals. I mentioned the achievements in my first post as a reference for why having the flight history could be beneficial to players however to obtain more achievements was not my reason for making this suggestion. Anyways what I was thinking is similar to below:

 

12:12:12 - You have taken a trip from Detroit to Chicago.

 

or

 

12:12:12 - You have landed in Chicago.

Being a person who manually keeps a record of flights for achievements sake, I don't know if it's a good idea to make the players any more lazier than they already are.

A good idea for me!

So upon reading and speaking with people I would like to clarify further what I had in mind when I made this suggestion. I only wanted it to show in your personals (similar to when a CA sells drugs or you are given the nod) not trigger any blinking or status box like other things (such as whacking someone or being invited to an OC).

I do not see this as creating clutter in your personals either as at MOST your flying every 3 hours. In my opinion you will have some sort of other news between them if your traveling that quick or your really bored because your traveling to the same two cities continuously .

I understand some may view this as lazy however some individuals may not log on more then once a day or so and may forget where they last came from while also not having time to correct it if they guess incorrectly. This can become especially annoying when you are attempting for higher achievements that are requiring 500,100,2500 actions in each city and you unintentionally skipped a city and are unable to figure it out because of the size of the achievement.

I don't see how it could be clutter, as it's in the personals. You get personals for things that can happen sooner than a 3hour period as well. Pick pocketing. Bank transfers.

I don't see a downside to this really other than  someone said above, it makes it easier for others to track their travel history whilst they have done it manually. If I were someone manually tracking my flight patterns, I would see this as a massive pro, and not a con.

Also if I were to choose between the personal note you offered earlier, StinkyPete, I would go with...

12:12:12 - You have landed in Chicago.

This still means you have to track your flight patterns to a degree, as you'll only be left with the destination you arrived at.
