Quite surpised there isnt an all encompassing Flight Sim equipment thread for less important recommendation questions. That said I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm looking for a decent Rudder pedal set with toe brakes.

I've recently got bit by the DCS bug AGAIN. I used to have a TM Warthog HOTAS with Logitech G flight rudder pedals. However about 2 years ago sim racing kinda took over again for a little while. However I'm making amends and I'm investing again in flight sim kit.
I have a Winwing Orion 2 F16EX setup on its way to me. Rudder whilst an important input has never been an absolute necessity for me, I've made do with twist grip or rudder mapped to buttons in the past. However I want to do it properly again. I've held off on investing in rudder as yet as I'm undecided, its a lot of money and want to make sure I make the right buy.
I guess the logical decision would be to complete the Winwing setup with their rudder pedals. However I'd like to hear from others to see what other options are out there worth considering. I'm not in any way interested in the Logitech ones or similar offerings, I'm not looking for plasticky tat. TM ones seem very over priced.

Anything else I should I be considering? I'm in no rush to buy either this is a slow-time build, it'll be a few weeks before I can round up all the parts for my sim rig. As it stands the Winwing Orion Rudder pedals without Damper kit is in the basket (is damper worth it?).


On a side note. I could possibly be looking for a collective for heli simming in the future. I have the Blackshark module for DCS and as fun as, I get a sense I'm missing something. However, Winwing seem to have discontinued their KA50 stick and I imagine finding it used will be a bit of a mission. Anyone know if they plan to bring another option to the market? I potentially have access to a surplus Gemini throttle so would be an easy fix. Or is Virpil the only realistic option for this now? Its by no means a must have but it would be a nice addition in the future to have the option for a replica collective.
 
Cheers for the input guys.

The pendulars are the most precise and the most comfortable but ideally require a more horizontal seating position

Guess TM TPR's are likely going to be the most appropriate for my setup then. I'm reconfiguring my Alu profile race sim to fit this setup. Pedal plate is adjustable and already in a raised position.

On the collective, I’m unaware of anything sensibly priced after the Virpil option.
Cheers, I kinda figured this was going to be the case.
