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