Thrustmaster's HOTAS NEO Brings Ace Combat 8 to a Flight Stick

Thrustmaster's T.FLIGHT HOTAS NEO ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Edition is a licensed flight stick for Ace Combat 8, which Bandai Namco Entertainment released on October 2. The unit costs 28,000 yen and works with PS5, PS4, and PC.

Why it matters

The stick follows the Ace Combat 7 edition Thrustmaster made for the previous game, so the peripheral line now tracks the series release by release.

It splits into a joystick and a throttle, and it is sold through Amazon, Edion, and Yodobashi Camera.

The joystick and throttle separate at the center and lock together with hex screws on the underside. On PC, the default layout puts missiles on L1, target switching on L3, wingman commands on the hat switch, and camera control on the mini stick, with weapon switching on R3 and the gun on the trigger. The throttle carries high-G turn, autopilot, flares, and view change on the face buttons, radar map and gear on the rear shoulders, and a rocker for rudder. The body is 35cm wide, 20cm deep, and 23cm tall, at 1,425g, with the Wings of Theve logo and Joker Squadron insignia printed on it.
