Thank you Dan and Heloisa Helena! In a week or so I'll be looking for some more.
Hola Harsuame! Me encantaría participar, pero no con esta spotting. Tengo que señalar a su atención que las misiones creadas por el usuario son solo locales, como se indica en el mapa de la misión. El radio de su misión es 300 millas solamente. Puede editar el texto de la misión de indicar la ubicación exacta de la misión. Gracias!
