How to unlock the A reference achievement in Tracks - The Train Set Game - Definitive Guide

WARNING: between 10 September 21 and 5 December 21, nobody managed to unlock this achievement (except people set to non-stat tracking). Several people attempted it and failed. It appears to have been fixed by the 4 December update, and the instructions below are working again. If you have issues, post in the comments.

TL,DR: seems to be fixed - working since 5 December 2021

------------------

Load the game, and select the 'Moon' level in free play.

Make sure you're in 'build mode' rather than 'drive mode' (press cn_back if needed), then press left on the D-Pad cn_left to switch into alternate building mode, which means items can be placed in mid-air.

Press cn_RB to open the spawn menu, and find a bicycle-with-basket under 'vehicles'.

Press up on the D-Pad cn_up to rise up (best to do this a few times), and place the bicycle in mid-air.

Press cn_RB again, and find an alien passenger under 'sci-fi' (bottom row) on the far right. Hover directly over the basket, and place the passenger in the basket.

EDIT: If it doesn't pop, AlbinoKidELITE suggests placing the bike high up in the air, and YodaFreak1984 suggests making the alien face the same way as the bike. You can rotate pieces with cn_Y.

I noticed "Disfatt Bidgee" no longer shows as having the achievement unlocked, so i am assuming it is bugged at the moment and unobtainable.

That seems plausible. No-one tracked on the site has unlocked it since September - and many have tried. I'll submit a report

Thanks for your sleuthing. Sorry this doesn't have a happy ending for you at the moment.

Was just informed by cluxsy in the forums that the devs stated on Twitter the achievement would be fixed in the upcoming advent update(dec 1st). I’ll post back after that update if it’s actually fixed!

Great news! I've updated the solution above, and also submitted Achievement Flag info saying it's no longer discontinued.

Galenrandir - if there are any new nuances following the 4 December update that I could reflect in the solution, just mention any tips and I'll add them. Fingers crossed it's all identical to before.

You might have to press cn_left to switch to alternative build mode. I had to do that to spawn the bike in mid-air.

Shinnizle, yes: pressing D-Pad left to open alternative build mode is the key part of the solution.

The two key points are

1. The bicycle must be in the air (not on the ground): that's why you need to press left on the D-Paid

2. The alien needs to be specifically in the basket (it'll be obvious if you get it right)

Personally I used the first of the two alien characters, which was the second-last item on the 'sci-fi' row. If you've having trouble, you could always try doing it once with each

I had it unlocked with the alien facing a random direction.

Great guide, nice and simple!

This just wouldn’t unlock for me until I put the bike waaaaaay up in the air, so apparently there is a minimum height requirement to count as “flying”, not just off the ground.

Need help with this one. Pressing up on the dpad does nothing for the bike, and just sends rhe camera up alone.

Try pressing left on the D-Pad first. That switches you into an alternative building mode, where your bike will rise too.

What a ridiculous achievement. laugh Thanks for the guide (and all the other ones too.)

For the life of me, I can't get this one to unlock. I'm 100% sure I've completed it correctly. On the moon level, bike in the air, green alien in the basket even with him facing the same way was the bike. I've tried re-installing the game, and hard resetting the console. Any other ideas?

Sadly what's in the solution and comments is all I know. Sounds like it's being picky: good luck finding an answer

Having the same issue, tried hard resetting my console and reinstalling the game. Nothing seems to make this achievement unlock.

That sucks. I no longer have access to the game (as it's left Game Pass), so I can't help you myself. "Disfatt Bidgee" unlocked the achievement yesterday - perhaps they can help?

I'll happily update the solution if anyone can figure out why this has (apparently) become difficult recently. Until 6th September there was a steady flow of people unlocking this with no problems.
