Coin flip missions
On the mission where Chopper asks whether you've heard "Flip Side of The Coin" (a song), responding yes or no will determine the coin-flip missions later in the game. If you've already beaten the game, you can forego this with Free Mission mode.

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.

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!

Auto-pilot
Hold [L2]+[R2] and the plane will go into auto pilot.

Campaign
At the demon of Razgriz stage. approach at a lower level and at high speeds. The best plane to use is a tornado GR-1 good lowlevel manuver ability. The when you take out the sub the first time and the clock stops. tell your group to attack. wait for it to come up and then ise the triangle button till you get the work hirmifaxi on the trgeting system. Shoot at it. Make one pass runs and try to get atleast 2 runs in before it goes down. Forget about the UAVs after you concentrate on hirmifaxi and soon you will hear the deparate please fo the crew falling under your hamering

Avoiding the radar tip
Im 1 of the raz missions u go on a solo recon mission . take the GR1 out ( brilliant anti ground plane ) since it is very good at low altitude and it has high manu and is quite small ( more space to manu then ) .
go to below 100 feet . the radar will go smaller . then follow the river ( some spots need u to go on land tho ) . follow this route ( do NOT worrie about hittin trees . they dont hit/destroy ur plane ) and u will soon come to the target and pops comes back on the radio . photo all the targets in the 1 shot ( closer is better . other wise u will need to take the shot again ) then u need to take another photo ( not sayin cause its a major twist ) . when u do this heas for the white dotted line as fast as u can , dont worrie about the radar ( they have spotted u anyway ! . get out of there ASAP ! ) . the rest of the team will provide cover when u reach that return line ( by shottin down the planes that were on ur 6 o'clock )
congrats . u have completed that mission !

ps . dont even try the stealth jet ( tryed it . did not work 2 good against the radar )

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.

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.

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").
