Achievement guide and discussion

Yep worked like a charm, only missing the flight hour achievements now

Tell people 2 stop using the TBM it doesn’t work. I’m going to fly it 2night CJ4 I hope it works. Every1 says the TBM doesn’t work I flew it four 14 + hr with no joy

you have this site with some explantion to do somme acheivement :

For Myway you just need to activate the co-pilote AI after you get the gate via the landing ATC airport and you have leave the landing runway

For saddle sore you have this post :

Same here (Century). I’m over 100hrs in both the logbook and “Progress” section (ie next benchmark says 200hrs). Achievement reads 95%. But I’m sure it’ll catch up (my Sids and Stars achievement took some time to reflect complete).

So my logbook shows some 350 landings (I probably did more like 450, but that’s another story). All, except maybe 20 of those would have been at airports I’ve never landed before. Yet my “World Traveler” status was 35% (ie. 175 or thereabouts).

I started to suspect something that might be causing this. So I did a little test. I picked a flight from Abilene, TX, because it happens to be surrounded by 6 nearby airports, none of which I visited before. I took off in a modded Savage Cub from KABI and landed at the the 5 other airports, then returned to KABI. The logbook shows 6 successful landings (and 4 take-offs … whatevs). Yet the “World Traveler” number remained at 35%.

So I repeated the flight with the default, stock Savage Cub, with no liveries installed. Sure enough, 5 landings and 30 minutes later my “World Traveler” increased to 36%.

TL;DR if you care for the “World Traveler” achievement you might need to stick to unmodded aircraft!

I managed to unlock ALL achievements with the sole exception of Decathlon which is impossible to achieve. At this rate, it will take up to 6 months to reach 100% completion. The rest of the achievements were simple although in some cases tricky. I tried multiple times for certain achievements.

Show us a picture of all those achievements

Quite an effort! You must have flown an average of 8+ hours a day to get the 1000 hours already! Given the logbook time issues, probably more! Wow!

If you want to (cough!) “cheat” a bit with the Wing Commander and Journeyman achievements then you can set fuel to unlimited, take any aircraft with AP, take off, set HDG to whatever, altitude to whatever, activate the AP and go to bed. Next morning you’ll have 8-12 hours of flight time for zero effort (depending on how long you sleep for!). As long as you don’t get a CTD that is…or collide with a mountain. In my defence, I am only doing this to film some timelapses…honest :wink:

There was also a cheat you could perform by adjusting the time on your PC while flying, or something like that. Which would allow you to unlock Journeyman and wing commander in just a few minutes. But it has apparently been patched out.

I don’t mind spending a few years on these last two, I’ll be playing this game for years and years anyway and it feels good to really earn something

Ι did not cheat at all. I played for 1000 hours on single pilot profile in order to unlock the Wing Commander and now I am always on multiplayer mode since there is no need for SP mode anymore. I did use unlimited fuel though, in order to keep the plane in the air during night sleep… The next level to reach requires 2000 hours but I don’t think it requires SP mode because there is no way I will keep flying alone, solo!

Just wanted to chime in that I have the Steam edition and have all achievements unlocked except for Decathlon, World Traveler, Journeyman, and Wing Commander. All of them obtained legitimately. Some took several tries, trying to figure out exactly what was required that wouldn’t invalidate it. Bought the game 23 August, so been working on them since initial release. After initial game launch some of the achievements seemed a little buggy at first. After a couple a patches they all seemed to work fine. Didn’t really have any major issues obtaining any of them.

Holy sh p your the man props 2 u. Did u advance time

No. I did not cheat.

There is much more easy way.

  1. Take of without any fuel modification
  2. After takeof hit ESC key
  3. Go sleep, or job, or fishing, or whatever.
  4. Back on after 10-100-1000 hours later
  5. Hit ESC again
  6. Land

is jack of all planes bugged as of recently?

my tracker says 5%, I can’t remember if it was in 747 or a320, I flew in both recently of a route 330ish nm, the achievement tracker is still on 5%

this was departure runway to arrival gate, was I meant to start at departure gate to arrival gate? I did have some assistance on.. I don’t think that would invalidate this achievement

any suggestions?

edit: got it

Are you using any mods on these aircraft? Custom liveries?
