    Zico trophy's been bugging me for a while now and the best I've gotten is 31.16 which should be maybe one BR away from the ever-elusive 30.82. I just can't perform BR fast and precise enough in that shortcut entrance... Oh well, gotta just get it when I nail the rest well enough. I hate the very first curve, getting all pads with a superb turning is annoying and I wonder if airbrake use is precise enough. And that 3-in-a-row BR stuff is near impossible to pull off. Sigh, I'm gonna get the trophy somehow...

    Default Airbraker

    Airbraker - Silver Trophy - Reach Zone 50 (Subsonic) in Zone Mode on any track using only airbrakes and sideshift. Motion sensor controls must be turned off.
    Did anyone get this one yet? I dont get it, how can one get to Zone 50 with no D-pad and only brakes...?

    I got it. Took me some time, I got frustrated some times (Because of me being stupid and crashing in the wall hard on a perfectly straight line), but it's possible. The airbrakes' effect on steering increases as the speed goes up.
    Do it on Anulpha, it's much easier than other tracks.
    Now I have to get Zone 75. :O

    Tournament Ace trophy Tip.
    This is for newbies,so please don't flame me.

    This is a tip so you can get this one out of the way really quickly, and then get on with the much hard parts of the game.....WO Purists look away.

    Go into Racebox.
    1]Select Tournament
    2]Select AI at Skilled.
    3]Select weapons off.
    4]Select Vineta K...for all 8 of of the tournament races.
    5]Select Venom speed.,why do 8 more laps than you need to by choosing Flash.

    Then all you have to do is keep getting perfect laps and coming first for all 8 races.
    It's so simple on Vineta K....even a Nascar driver could do it.

    Default Airbraker

    I reached zone 47 last night.

    What worked great for me was turning the airbrake sensitivity all the way up, so when you get to higher speeds, a tap is just a slight adjustment of the line. I'll have this one soon.

    finally got zico trophy, almost had the 50 zone one but died at 47 ;(.
    Anyone got the arcade perfect? I always fail miserably at chenghou project/sebenco climb..god I hate those race at elite difficulty.

    I got Arcade Perfect, it was a real chore to get. As you said, Chenghou (reverse) and Sebenco (both ways) were really tough. Just try to perfect your racing line and pray for the right weapon pickups

    YES! I finnaly got both Airbraker and Own the ZOne! Really hard man...i cant believe i actually did it, those damn nerves were making me crazy.

    I wonder if i will ever get to Zone 75 though.

    What´s the best ship to race against ELITE/Phantom?

    Yeah, Zone Zeus is the last real clincher for me too. My highest is Zone 62

    Got Arcade Perfect last night, Sebenco Reverse was the last one for me. Nightmare of a track. Currently on the last grid for Elite Campaign Legend too

    The most reliable craft for Elite/Phantom would be anything with good handling and high thrust. I used Mirage for the Arcade Perfect, but something like AG-Systems, Assegai or Harimau are equally good.

    Oh the irony, my Zico time is now 30.89 but the interesting fact is that I got it without the shortcut entrance barrel roll. So, three barrel rolls was needed for that and now I just gotta shave those pesky .07 seconds away with slightly better turns and maybe the turbo-BR-hill-BR combo could use some improvement too. But I give up with the shortcut entrance barrel roll, such a chore to try to pull it off and utterly fail 19 times out of 20. This trophy is addictive in a way more sick and violent than I could even describe. But I'm gonna nail it! So close!

    Yeah, the 'Super Zen' color scheme of Anulpha Pass is quite annoying. It was hard for me too to concentrate. But once you reach 'Supersonic' everything is better because you can see the walls again.

    I find Super Zen quite manageable, it's Mach 1 that screws me over! Hit Zone 66 tonight so slowly creeping towards that Zone Zeus trophy
