I'm not too sure, I haven't tried. I don't want to get a FISSION MAILED when it said "good job" in the previous screen after taking down the last bandit. I guess I should try sometime. Timberwolf you give it a try since you're playing it now.

Also, can you "crash" when you take off? I'd love to see someone fail at taking off. Looks at self. Oh wait, I want to try sometime where right when you take off, you try to land again before the control tower says you're cleared. That'd be great.

I've crashed many times while trying to land re-arming trips. The game just lets you attempt the landing again, while giving you the option of skipping it at any time.

Then once you're done, you're sent back to the mission where you left off.

Nothing's riding on these landings.

Oh I see, then I guess just before I touch down to re-arm/fuel, I'll use the remaining missiles to shoot down the friendly base.

::traitor::

You must really suck at landing then :p

Hahaha, that I am :)

But I've gotten better. And this is my first time playing an Ace Combat game, so everything is a challenge. It's also a lot of fun.

(I bought the game on Saturday.)

mission still ends if you crashed in landing. If I recall correctly, after saving the president from angry belkans (yes, I am a bad enough pilot), I tried to carrier land. Right before I hit the deck, my plane stalled and rammed right into the ship's rear. I still get a mission complete though.

Who even bothers to land their plane anymore. I just hit eject once I see the aircraft carrier.

THAT'S RIGHT THUNDERHEAD...I AM DANGEROUS...

Oh yeah, this is me playing Ace Combat Zero:

downloading ACZero right now. I'll let you guys know how it is when it's done in an hour. Damn I love Usenet.

Please make sure to let us know how it plays.

We have never experienced an Ace Combat game before.

And here is a torrent for it. Currently no seeders though, but only one I could find.

No joy (stick) --> AC - PS2 flight control stick.

GOES WHERE.

You've never experienced this one...if you were more specific, you would've been right.

we need a soundtrack rip, ASAP!

Tutorial and it's done.

Is it going to be mp3s or what. Just upload the .wavs. I deserve the best quality.

Also rapidshare.

I salute you.

Where do I go from here?

Can you confirm that the game has a BGM player/sound test mode? If so, I'll be doing an analog recording rip by the time my torrent completes, tomorrow at the latest.

No, there isn't any sound test I'm afraid.

But don't you have to beat the game in order to unlock it? This was the case in 05, and IIRC, in 4 as well.

Yeah, now that you mention it. Hopefully this is the case with this game as well then.

Well, given that they used the AC5 engine and aside from sprucing up the explosions and other minor things, it wouldn't be wrong to expect it to be the same case here.

BTW, the trailer back there, maybe that's simply the movie that plays before the title screen like in 05?

That's correct. If you wait a bit on the title screen it'll be shown.

Hmm, I'm not too fond of Pixie so far. He's really pretty boring. (can I have the motormouth back please) Apart from that though there's isn't much to complain about <3

I think it's less cheesy this way.

I'm currently in the process of doing a 100% digital BGM rip. Things are progressing nicely so far. Expect the first sample in a few minutes ...
