ACE COMBAT 7 | Frequent Flyer | Most Efficient Method

[fadingtrails]

The psnprofiles guide tells you to fly around at 3334 kph (2070 mph); here's how you can go over 560 kph (348 mph) faster.

 

The following assumes you're using Expert controls.

 

1. Go into Free Flight

2. Select any large map

3. Select the MiG-31B

4. Equip parts that affect speed:

• Light Blisk
• Next Gen High-Pressure Components
• Variable Cycle Engine
• Queen's Custom

5. Fly towards the middle of the map. Notice how your speed tops at 3540 kph (2200 mph)

6. Now increase altitude to 11.000km (6835mi)

7. Press and hold L1+R1 (auto-pilot) for a while to level the aircraft

8. Press and hold R2+R1 to accelerate and do circles using yaw. Your top speed will now be 3895 kph (2420 mph). Use a rubber band if you want to.

 

This can save you up to three hours of grinding. Video guide:

I appreciate that, Sly.

I don't own the DLC, but I understand the Darkstar is now the quickest aircraft in the game. It reaches speeds of over 6.000 kph/3728 mph, which should cut down the time required by another 6 to 7 hours.

 

I say should because, at that speed, you're flying around in a much larger circle, and I'm unable to test it to see if any map is large enough.

 

If anyone has tried this, it'd be cool if they could share their findings.
