Ace Combat 5 - The Unsung War
Free Mission:
-------------
Just like in Ace Combat 4, this game also gives you the option of the "Free Mission",
when you have completed the game, go to the main screen and select Free Mission.
You can now play any mission in the game, using any plane you have previously bought.
Auto-pilot:
-----------
Hold L2 + R2 and the plane will go into auto pilot.
Even more difficulty settings...:
---------------------------------
When you have completed the game, there are a few more difficulty settings that you
can choose from. These are great if you completed the game with ease, and want more
of a challenge!
Music Player:
-------------
After completing the game, just go back to the Title screen and go to options.
The Music Player option will now be available. With this, you can listen to all
every single track from within the game... This is probably the ONLY place you
will be able to do this, without having to actually play the game.
SP paint:
---------
Shoot down the indicated target or complete the listed task to unlock the paint
for the corresponding aircraft. Note: All planes must be bought before the paint
becomes available.

Acquire upgraded fighters:
--------------------------
You must fly the fighter that you want the upgrade for and acquire enough kills for
the unlock. For example, if you want the Super F-14, you must take out the F-14B,
fly several missions, and acquire enough kills to get the F-14A. Take out the F-14A
and fly several missions with it until you get enough kills to acquire the Super F-14.
This applies to all aircraft.
Use the enemy's own missiles against themselves:
------------------------------------------------
Note: This is only effective against enemy ground units. This is difficult to do and
requires many practice runs. If you find yourself with a missile being shot at you,
try to boost to the nearest enemy ground unit. Then, slow down and make sure not to
go past the ground unit. As soon as you see the missile closing in on the radar,
quickly boost towards the ground unit, and time it so that the missile will go past
you and into the enemy unit. This is possible to accomplish with a lot of practice,
but is extremely difficult to time correctly. Try using it on enemy ships first, as
they are much larger than tanks. Then, work your way down the size scale until you
can use it against all enemy ground or sea units. This will save you missiles if
your ammunition is low, or you need to conserve as much as possible as in missions
16B, 12B, and 9.
Defeating submarines and battleships:
-------------------------------------
It is a lot easier to fight submarines and battleships if you fly very close to the
water, as they cannot hit you as easily. This is very effective if you also fly very
fast. Be careful not to crash into the water.
More accurate view:
-------------------
If you switch into cockpit view in some planes, you can see the machine gun that you
are firing and therefore be more accurate with it. The F5 has two guns side by side.
The gun on the A 10 is very powerful and accurate.
Auto-target shift:
------------------
Hold Triangle when locked onto an enemy. Your view will automatically shift so that
you are looking at the target that you are chasing. This is especially useful in dogfights.
Switch views:
-------------
You can switch views by pressing R3.
Campaign mode aircraft for Arcade Mode:
---------------------------------------
Finish all 16 stages in Arcade Mode. Afterwards, Mobius 1 will be able to pilot all 53
aircraft unlocked (paint schemes included) and bought in Campaign Mode but, with limited
ammunition (20 missiles, 4 special weapons).
Perfect Mid-Air Refueling:
--------------------------
All you have to do is slowy fly up to the KC-10 and when it says hold position keep the
plane in that position. Don't change the plane's direction just push down the throwdel
button (R1) lightly and pull up to the tanker slowly. Note: If you change the plane's
direction it will be extreamly difficult to line up the plane to the target.

Song decision:
--------------
During one of the early stages of the campaign mode, Chopper will ask you about a song.
Your next mission will depend on your answer ("Yes" or "No"). Also, at the end of the
stage in which Edge gets rescued, Chopper will again ask you about the same song. Again,
your "Yes" or "No" answer will decide which stage is next.
Falken:
-------
Get the missing parts from missions 12a, 12b, 16a, 16b, and 27a to unlock the Falken.
You must destroy the hangar of each mission. For mission 12a, follow the river north,
then go east at the fork in the river. You must be close for the hangar to show appear
on radar. For mission 12b, after taking out the four radar sites, destroy enough targets
and the hangar will show up near the smokestacks. The one in mission 16a is between the
field HQ and the airfield. Mission 16b has it west of the river, between the airfield
and oil refinery (south of the north-most river). The part on mission 27 is very close
to the gun tower, in front of the tunnel.
Unlock F22A:
------------
Successfully complete arcade mode.
Unlock X-02:
