xhunterrrr Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 XP Grinder unlocked for me. Yay! TA and Xbox.com only have one XP Grinder achievement, but when I hit the guide button while playing Flight, it lists two. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiReStOrM1604659682 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Won't unlock for me either. Correction i just logged in after the update got the xp grinder achievement/princely cargo and Maui bound. A lot of achievements didn't unlock for me when I should have unlocked them, but following the guide on this forum about deleting the achievement cache gave me them the next time I booted the game. Having said that however i had no problem with Maui Bound or Princely Cargo. And YEAH XP Grinder baby! Still confused as to why there are still 2 "XP Grinder" achievements. But at least they FINALLY patched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA and Xbox.com only have one XP Grinder achievement, but when I hit the guide button while playing Flight, it lists two. Weird. it's had for a while, i assume it's the reason it glitched, i wouldn't worry about it, the xbox.com one is the only one that matters and thats working now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I noticed they reduced the sensitivity of the Xbox 360 controller with the patch. The throttle doesn't go from 0 to 100% in half a second, haha. EDIT: "Multiplayer host changing weather will no longer affect other users in missions that have specific weather settings." Glad I did those landing missions in the fog before they fixed it. Edited April 3, 2012 by xhunterrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caramel Cardinal Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Is there any more info about the Alaska? Will there be any free content? New achievements, maybe? don't know about achievements yet but fairly certain there won't be free content since it's not in the style of the game when the original was free but hey you never know we got the mustang for free now so there may be some the'll also be new challanges, such as landing and gold rush and a basic version of the Carbon Cub thrown in, shame it won't have a cockpit but hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
