Now I've been wondering with Ace Combat 6 on its way to release here shortly, was someone going to create a joystick for it? I love my flight sims like the rest of you, but being limited to a controller takes away that feeling of grandeur in performing aerial moves to line up that perfect shot on your adversary.

Well folks, there is indeed a joystick for Ace Combat 6 and its been released from Namco-Bandai.



I must say I’m not keen on the green, but that could easily be changed with some color modding. But just the fact that anyone that’s a flight sim buff will be able to use a joystick controller then the regular controller.
