Cheats

If you're having trouble with a particular mission, it's possible to skip it by altering the game file which records your progress (FULL VERSION ONLY).

*** WARNING! *** This cheat involves changing the game code, which may potentially cause problems with the running of the game. We take no responsibility for this - if you experience problems after altering game files, you will need to reinstall the demo and re-enter your unlock code.

To skip missions, first locate the Red Ace root directory on your hard drive (the location of this will depend on where you originally installed the game).

You should see a file called "characters.ini". Make a back-up copy of this file first, then open it using a text editor such as MS Notepad.

Find the line which reads "mission = ..." plus a number. This is your current mission; change the number to the mission you want to skip to, save the file and restart the game. You will now be on the mission you specified.

If you want to unlock all the missions, enter the mission number as 26, which will also unlock all the cheats you are rewarded with at the end of the game.
