Snoopy Flying Ace Updated to 250

The second DLC pack for Snoopy Flying Ace (yes, there was a first), Suppertime of Destruction, was released two weeks ago on the Xbox Live Marketplace, though its accompanying achievements had that fun issue where someone at Microsoft fell asleep at the wheel and never uploaded them, essentially making them unobtainable as your gamerscore could not be updated on xbox.com to show you unlocked them. Luckily, ex-x360a-staffer and current Microsoft employee Creech got on some people's cases and has been able to have this issue fixed. There are now three new achievements for an additional 50 gamerscore available for Snoopy Flying Ace. The Suppertime of Destruction pack is available now for 400 Microsoft Points.

"It's been called the greatest beagle-based air combat game ever made, yet somehow we still found room for more explosive features! TWO incredible new aircraft: the stealthy Woodstock Copter and Avatar-powered Spy Plane. Five, count 'em, FIVE new multiplayer game modes, with new Leaderboards to climb. THREE completely new weapons for your favorite plane! New costumes for all the Peanuts characters! Plus THIRTY new airplane skins that totally change the look of your warbird! Could we possibly cram any more cool stuff into this game??"

Bully 15
Kill any Blockhead (Xbox LIVE Player Match Only)

Camouflage 15
Survive 5 minutes with no deaths (Xbox LIVE Player Match Only).

Kite Flyer 20
Earn 50+ kills for both "Kite" class airplanes (Dragonfly and Whirlybird)

Note: Creech is also working on having the same issue fixed for Dark Void (250 Gamerscore from the Survivor Missions released in February) and Things on Wheels (10 Gamerscore from the Cars DLC released three weeks ago). These are currently the only two other games I know of that have this issue, but if there are others, please do let us know.

And I don't mean glitched achievements, as fixing those are up to the developers of the games - I am talking strictly games that have not had their DLC achievements uploaded to xbox.com, thanks!

  • Too bad he couldn't get on people's cases about glitched achievements.
  • It's nice to know that someone associated with 360a had some pull to get these situations handled. Now my interest in actually purchasing this game has greatly increased.
  • If only a fix for Metro 2033 was this easy. Oh well, might pick up Snoopy on a DotW.
  • Actually metro 2033 was just recently fixed at the beginning of the month.
  • Isn't this pack just another unlock code?
  • @5 No.
  • i hate the unlock code question. a lot of stuff is recycled in most cases yes but that does not mean it's all in the game already.e
  • Well that is going to have to be nearly ALL recycling if thats not an unlock code, as both DLC packs are under 1MB.
  • Sometimes the things are added in a patch anyway, just because you didn't buy it doesn't mean you won't see it in a multiplayer match. So the "unlock" may literally be an unlock, but it was patched in before it was purchasable anyway.
  • #6- Yes it is. The developers confirmed this on xbox.com forums. Basically justified it by saying they would have had to increase the initial price of the game if the two pieces of DLC were included. Therefore, they locked them... Thanks to Creech for getting this sorted, hopefully the other games will be fixed soon too.
  • Damn it all to hell missing 40 points.
  • it's nice to see this game getting support and people care enough to fix it promptly. I cant wait for the Ghostbusters fix this fall.
  • Good news!! I picked up dark void cheap a bit ago so now I will keep hold of it for the dlc
  • It's about time. I, and a few others have been bugging @Xboxsupport on twitter, Smartbomb on Facebook (who also stated that the DLC was mainly unlock codes but not all of it - some was added via a patch I believe) and Major Nelson via his blog about this. Now I see who I should contact in the future. Hopefully my score will update properly and I'll not have to re-do the achievements.
  • @12 Prompt? Prompt is sorting it out within a couple of hours of the issue being highlighted, not two weeks later. I know that other games have had similar issues which have been going on longer, it only adds weight to my point. May I add that this was not an issue Smart Bomb's end, it was all down to MS apparently.
  • The Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Hoth Mission Pack DLC had achievements on the PS3 but was absent on the 360. Can you have that guy look into that as well please. It just doesn't feel right just leaving the Ach score on 1345g.
  • This happened to Bioshock 2 last week. Fortunately a lot of us lit a fire under their ass to get it updated. Pretty inexcuseable. But speaking of which, why don't any of the recent DLC tiles appear on Xbox.com? They only appear as white question mark tiles even after being unlocked. This has happened with Bioshock 2 Minerva's Den and also Lair of the Shadow Broker. Whoever they have in charge of uploading these things to xbox.com needs to be fired.
  • Finally somebody deserves to get paid over at Microsoft.
  • #17 You know, I got all of the DLC achievements for Mass2 and the icon appeared fine on the game history on the dashboard, but only ? tiles on Xbox.com as you mentioned. Today I have a look on the dash and they're all gone, 5 empty spaces. At least my gamerscore hasn't been messed about with!
  • #19 - That sure is odd. But yes, none of the pictures will show on xbox.com Seriously, whoever is in charge of this need to be replaced or something, this is inexcusable for the window of time they have.
  • Hi, i unlocked the achievements Bully and Camouflage on September 2nd but my gamescore doesn't change. What can i do to fix it?
  • @21 That happened with me. I 'solved' the issue by having to recover my gamertag. That basically took away the two achievements which weren't recognised and not sync'd with the live servers but still unlocked in the game (preventing them from being unlocked again), then I had to go out and get the achievements again. The Camouflage and Bully achievements aren't too hard to get tbh.
  • @22 Thanks man, i solved the trouble but i won't unlock them again until Microsoft says that this error is totally fixed.
  • @23 It is fixed. That's why this article was made.
  • @24 I donĀ“t think so. The icons of this achievements still are hidden, this maybe shows that the trouble isn't totally fixed.
  • Once u recover your gamertag, clear system cache and re do the achievements, they will pop up. The 50 kills with each kite should only need 1 kill with either kite as should still have ur total.
