Based on Baur (now VirPil designer) BRD pedals, but with more modern construction methods.

The VIRPIL Controls team is proud to present our latest development - and something we know has been requested for some; introducing our new range of VIRPIL Controls Rudder Pedals that include 1 and 3 axis devices!

First in the line up are the VPC WarBRD Rudder Pedals:

The VPC WarBRD Pedals are a single axis design developed as a continuation from the highly successful and sought after platform designed by our Chief Designer Roman Dorokhov (Baur) - creator of BRD devices. Featuring a sturdy all metal construction, cam centering mechanism and cast aluminium footplates.

For more advanced setups we have our VPC ACE Rudder Pedals, featuring the same WarBRD heritage but now features toe brakes for a total of 3 axis of control.

The VPC ACE-1 Rudder Pedals include full-foot cast aluminium pedals which can be adjusted for different foot sizes and pedal angles.

Finally - we have the VPC ACE-2 Rudder Pedals which include a footplate accessory addon to convert the full-foot pedals found on the VPC ACE-1 Rudder Pedals to a heel-less design more commonly found on modern fighter jets.

They look great. I wonder how they'll position themselves pricewise. I was hesitating between the VKB rudders and the MFG ones, but with these guys making the BRD pedals more widely available I might shift to that - it will all depend on price and shipping (being in Australia, that can represent a big significant part of the cost. MFG charge 50 euro of shipping, VKB slightly less at 50USD. I guess I could check what Virpil charges for their sticks to give me an idea, assuming they'll ship there.
*edit* 64 euro for their stick base, ouch! Of course they're using express shipping which makes it that bad...
