The Full Base Game: The complete single-player campaign and online multiplayer modes.

3 Original Aircraft Sets: The ADF-11F Raven, ADF-01 FALKEN, and ADFX-01 Morgan. Advanced tips

3 Special Missions: "Unexpected Visitor", "Anchorhead Raid", and the massive "Ten Million Relief Plan".

2 Bonus Playable Aircraft: The F-104C -Avril- (for free flight) and the classic F-4E Phantom II.

Customization Items: 3 popular aircraft legacy skins and 8 faction emblems.

Music Player Mode: Accessible in-game to listen to the cinematic soundtrack.

Advanced tips

• Learn each plane’s turn radius and acceleration; use a few favorites rather than switching constantly.
• Master missile evasion: timed flares and sudden vertical maneuvers.
• Use target prioritization (radar pings, mission intel) to tackle the biggest threats first.

On Native Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Docked)

• Resolution: Handheld mode runs at 540p~720p; Docked targets 900p~1080p.
• Frame Rate: Locked to 30 FPS (compared to 60 FPS on PS4/PC). This is the biggest compromise. The skybox removal and clouds are still gorgeous, but roll maneuvers feel slightly slower.
• Audio Compression: Due to the 16GB cartridge limit, the voice lines and soundtrack are compressed. However, the roar of the jet engines remains punchy.

Option A: On a modded Switch

1. Place the .XCI file on your SD card (e.g., sdmc:/xci/).
2. Use a title manager like Tinfoil → "Install from XCI" (converts to installed NAND/SD format).
3. Or use DBI → "Run MTP responder" → drag XCI into "Install to SD".
4. Or if using SX OS (outdated firmware), you can mount the XCI directly from the album menu.

Combat tactics

• BVR (Beyond Visual Range): lock with radar, fire radar-guided missiles, then evade.
• Dogfighting: use energy/fuel management — climb then dive for speed; use barrel rolls and high-G turns sparingly.
• Ground attack: approach at low altitude, use terrain masking, employ guided bombs/missiles, then egress fast.
• Bosses/strong targets: analyze attack patterns, focus fire on weak points, use special weapons.
