    150 points for silver in the dlc, if memory serves (gold is at least 200). I was planning to become a casual player after doing these levels, and wanted that closure.

    Maybe you weren't, but now you are. Or, at least, you seem to (all of?) us.
    And carrying on your complaint will only make things worse... Is your real name Don Quixote?

    I really don't want to get in the middle of this because its the most childish thing i've ever heard of (closure over an achievement... seriously? But who am I to judge) but your complaint was not polite at all, and if I were one of the devs I would've been angry and not even responded to your post.

    I'm getting involved again :(

    The first PM I wrote you was to say I passed this onto to Luke to look at. For me it was about 6am when I wrote that and I had been working all night, so I was pretty short in what I wrote. But I did ask you if you were enjoying the new tracks because I read your posts on here on how well you were doing.

    The second PM I sent was this:

    Thanks for pointing this out. As Luke said on the forum the fix wont be there until 1.4.2 (Openfeint upgrade) and we are still waiting for 1.4.1 to finally get out. So the achievement will unlock for you when 1.4.2 comes out I hope you can wait that long - it's a bit frustrating with Apple recently with updates.

    So I did thank you for pointing out the problem. We admitted there is a problem and fixed it straight away and thanked you. Sometimes bugs can get into things... Even the big console games can have bugs in them on release, even the iOS releases have bugs in them by Apple. We are human after all and nothing can be perfect but at least mistakes can be corrected.

    I'm not giving you the cold shoulder, yet again I have been up all night working, I'm tired, and every so often I will pop on this forum to see what is happening while I work and because I am tired I handle things matter of fact; but I'm really trying to help you. I wish you could see that :)

    I think the next update to the game should prevent GrubJelly's UDID from being able to play JCS, and I'll personally PayPal him the $2 or $4 dollars he's spent on the game. Hell I'll PayPal him $20 to just *kindly stop talking about this issue*. He doesn't deserve to play this game.

    You guys at TrueAxis really don't deserve this kind of abuse either, especially over a game that costs a couple of dollars. The amount of stress relief therapy you're going to need after dealing with this guy will cost more than all the profits you've made I'm sure.

    On a side note, we have been featured by Apple in quite a few sections and sales have shot up. Yesterday in the games area we were about 150 and today we are at 67...

    The highest the game reached was 56 on release, so we may surpass that but lets see what happens.

    I wish that Retina display fix update would get onto the App store, though.

    Wow.....that's all I have to say about this discussion, trueaxis has been one of the most active devs on TA and on the game yet grubjelly is not satisfied...sure it would be nice to have 150 more OF pts, but they promised they would fix it, do you not trust their promise? I'm pretty sure they can't just flip a switch and all problems are fixed...it takes time.

    Anyway, I'm loving the tracks and the devs awesome responses and activeness, thanks a bunch developers!

    Btw just took#1 from Zincous on Level Pack Easy E :)

    Edit: Congrats on the ranking on the app store!

    Awesome. Though I'm really surprised it never got better than #56 in sales ranks? It certainly deserves a lot better than that. If I had my way, I'd keep JCS featured in all those appstore sections forever.

    Anyway, I just got the level pack impossible gold achievement, so take your time getting that silver working. You devs are so hard working that it's unreasonable to expect everything in your app to work, no?

    Now I can be done with JCS. My gold impossible F is as clean as a whistle. Try to top that.

    Yea. I don't see how this has not hit #1. What I like the most is the freedom in this game to go where you want and do things the way you want to do them instead of being forced to stay on the track all the time. The replays and ability to race against them are my second favorite.

    BTW... there is an ignore user feature in the User CP section in case some don't know about it. I use it frequently on forums and it works well to weed out the trolls.

    Am I the only one who thinks achievement should be banned. I hated when Microsoft introduced them and really hated when Sony followed along and now every body is doing it. I much rather unlock cheats/new modes/etc than achievements. Achievement to me are a waste of time.

    I didn't like them at first but I use them to compare if others have the same games I do and how far along into the game they are. It can be useful. Just because there are achievements it does not rule out unlocking content as you play. You can have both :).

    haha, I'm not into achievements personally. I don't really have enough time to achievement many but mostly I feel that broadcasting every little thing I did in the game to everybody is an invasion of my privacy. I'd also prefere to unlock something rather then just get a tick in a box. But, from the other point of view, I see that a lot of people really love acheivements, and they are a pretty ideal thing for a game like Jet Car Stunts, and even found my self proud to unlock most of the acheivements in my own game. (I'm not sure I got all the stunt acheivements though)

    Now it just seems games are expected to have these things. Sometimes, from a game design, these kind of expectations are a bit frustrating. I really want to focus on what I think is important to the game I am making rather then meeting a bunch of tangental expectations. I think that sometimes its better to do one thing, and do it well. However, I'm definatly glad we put acheivements into Jet Car Stunts, but it would have been even better if the level pack impossible silver acheivement worked;)

    The silver achievement should be unlocked for you now - I received an email from OF, saying that they will do it :)

    Just to say that I have also bought the level pack (who wouldn't).

    It has made me realise how crap I have become, still loving it though!

    Thanks!!

    Perv, why do you care?
    Have you guys ever thought about night levels where there are streetlights to show jump landings & use headlights on the rest of the level?

    Candy Mountain, Charlie!
    Is there anyway for me to download DLC? My ipod is jailbroken, so that might be the cause.
