Achievements

The idea is to introduce achievements into SkyLines. A pilot can unlock those by several actions either in-flight or by interacting with the SkyLines platform. The reason for adding these achievements is to increase cross-country flight motivation and SkyLines adoption by providing something like a checklist of things that you haven't done before.
