    Since everyone is against the fuel system, I think i should share this...

    I found this on Facebook.
    By Team Dakota "Project Spark Developers"
    Team Dakota is happy to announce that based on all the very helpful and constructive feedback from our dedicated closed beta testers, Spark Time has been removed from Project Spark. You can play anything for as long as you like.

    I dont think RL will remove the fuel sytem, but they can give us better rewards...

    That's a nice bit of sanity in an insane world. Congrats to a developer who listens to their customers.

    For Frontier, I wish they did the same...but take note that the cost would be trivial to simply add a "pay XX to have limitless fuel" option. As long as XX wasn't unreasonable, both sides get what they want.

    Even with infinite fuel though, the wait times on upgrades should be reduced by about 4x or eliminated. If I just spent hours of play getting the money, I DESERVE to get that upgrade very quickly, IMO.

    That's good for them to actually care what their fan base has to say. Our words, on the other hand, fall on deaf ears.

    Fuel system

    I personally don't care for the fuel limits but now that I've grinded out my fuel tank to 102 units it doesn't bother me anymore. I would like however the pay xx amount to remove the system.

    Seems a number of the initial reviews are critical of the 'clutter' in the game and the particular way they use the F2P model...

    Current metacritic score: 63
    Hope it goes higher.

    C&VG are usually not far off imo.

    I do find it slightly obscene that you can buy a 'castle of gems' for £69.99...bring out the whale.
    Also, harsh to put time limits on goals when you have no fuel left.

    ive not done the math (someone should..) but maxing all bikes would require many many such castles. as weve said since day one, its way beyond any reason. and now, launching a very broken game..

    edit.. watched credits.. people employed just to manage and advise monetization. meh.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned before...
    Easy way to replenish fuel without waiting. Only tested on iPhone and iPad.
    You can skip forward time in the settings of your iphone/pad by changing the date. Re-open the Trials Frontier app and fuel will be replenished, then go back to settings (in iPad) and set back to auto.
    This only works for filling fuel as far as I know. You can do this as many times as you like, seems to work every time!
    If your half way through getting 15 backflips and 15 frontflips and you use this method, you will lose your progress so far on said mission.
    Hope this helps!
