How to unlock the Veteran Pilot achievement in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon - Definitive Guide

The following paragraphs detail a boosting method that requires minimum effort, that only the host check in every hour or the use of a turbo controller. This makes the feat of playing 50 hours a bit less tedious.

To boost this achievement you need at least one other player up to a total of three players, you included. You will want to host a Co-Op Mission game founder under the Xbox Live menu entry. Set the map to East African Town. The rest is of little importance.

When the map starts, just hover in place. After an hour the match will end in failure and it will ask you if you want to retry. When the host hits cn_A, either manually or through the use of a turbo controller, the mission will start anew, meaning you'll have another full hour. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

If a player drops out or the match ends, the time up to that moment is saved, don't worry. The advantage to the regular online versus modes is that only the host needs to be present and that it can easily be turboed.

I did really for get to state that, didn't I? It takes 50 hours. I will edit it into the solution. My apologies.

Just to make sure: the 50 hours can be a combination of competitive and coop? Or is it only for playing one of the two for 50 hours?

The "or" in the description is to be read as "any". As long as you play online for 50 hours, no matter what mode, you should get the achievement.

For anyone going for this still, make sure the account going for the achievement is NOT the host. I just wasted 50 hours by getting the achievement for my alt.

Could you elaborate? I was the host of my games and it unlocked fine.

It should be noted a lot of guides online like to mention the fact that your gameplay time is listed in the xbox storage device however, the time presented on the save data is how long the game's been up, whether you've been in menus, campaign play, or multiplayer play. There's no way to track your multiplayer hours in-game so you'll have to do so manually.


I'm on 53hrs going by what my save says, so this is very important to mention, I copied and pasted what I've put on top from a playstation site so it's not my words, just useful information to be honest.

This grind is horrible. The 50 hours is time spent in online games flying around, not waiting at menus or in a lobby.

First of all, a few things you should know.

On your PS3’s XMB menu, go to your save file and look at the Ace Combat saved data, when selected you will see the line “Flight time” this is a total log of all the time you have spent playing Ace Combat (actually flying around, not just sat at menus). However, it is a record of both offline and online time. So take note of what you are at before you attempt the 50 hours.

Play the co-op missions, this will get you the co-op trophy as well as knock up time.

Go for the other online trophies. Then it’s up to you. If you enjoy the online, just play normally.

Otherwise, find a boosting partner, select a death match with just private slots, turn off computer bots and put the time limit as 30 min. Pick helicopters... Then just sit there and do nothing.

Do not worry if you ever get a D/C as the game will still record your time up to the moment you lost your connection.

Also... this trophy will pop the moment you hit 50 hours online whilst you are playing the game, you don't have to wait until you get to the results screen.
