Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China adds Xbox One flight-stick & rudder support; fly 20+ World War 2 fighter and bomber aircraft using Thrustmaster’s T.Flight Hotas One hardware.

Press release:
Sweden, March 15, 2018 — Xbox One gamers looking for a highly maneuverable air-combat action experience on the big screen can now play ACE MADDOX’ Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China (FTSOC) using Thrustmaster’s T.Flight Hotas One flight-stick and (optional) TFRP pedals.

Today’s Xbox One Content Update for Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China makes full use of the T.Flight Hotas One design, which sports adjustable stick resistance, a large hand rest for comfort, as well as a dual rudder system (Hotas is short for “Hands On Throttle And Stick”). Also, the full sized throttle control is detachable and offers a level of personal customization that makes aircraft in FTSOC highly maneuverable.

Based on the historical events of America’s secret volunteer squadrons that helped defend China in World War 2, ACE MADDOX’ Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China now fully supports the T.Flight Hotas One and TFRP rudders, and is available on the Xbox Store as a digital download for $18.99 USD/€18.99 EUR/£15.19 GBP.

Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China is rated M for Mature by the ESRB (Violence, Blood, Strong Language), PEGI 16 in Europe, MA15+ (Strong coarse language) in Australia, and CERO B (12+) in Japan.
