Free Flight (フリーフライト)[1][2] is a gameplay mode that allows the player to fly freely by themselves in any campaign mission area with no enemy forces. The mode debuted in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies and has only appeared in most subsequent console games.

Description[]

Free Flight is available in the following games:

Game Music? Time Limit
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies No 30 minutes
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War No
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War No 30 minutes
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation Yes [note 1]
Ace Combat Infinity Yes 30 minutes
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown[2][3] No 30 minutes
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown VR Mode No 10 minutes

Ace Combat Infinity was the first and only game in the franchise to offer Free Flight as optional paid DLC through the Free Flight Ticket & Bonus Item Set. Notably, the player could fly freely in any Online Co-Op Missions area in addition to the campaign areas.[4]

Some of these games feature Easter Eggs, particularly Ace Combat 5 (see polar bears), to promote the Free Flight feature.[5]

Footnotes[]

  1. While Free Flight in Ace Combat 6 has no time limit, a timer is still displayed but does not move. The time displayed equates to the standard mission's time limit.
