Hey guys!
Long time lurker, decided to finally dip my feet into a ww2 forum about aviation!
I've been a long time fan of airplanes since i watched a documentary when i was little, after years of trying, i finally accomplished my dream goal of getting a Sidewinder 2 joystick (Best flight stick ever made), so even though i didn't managed to land my dream of getting into the air force (myopia) at least i can pretend i'm a pilot or something.
I'm from Brazil, my first book was Clostermann's excellent The Big Show and it really put me in the cockpit of a tempest flying 400mph down on the deck in Holland....
Recently i scored some goodies from a widow who was selling some of her husband's and late son's stuff, some revell sets, a lot of small planes painstakingly painted by her son and half a dozen of war books, some are Caidin's (i know he isn't the most accurate read, but he sure could write exciting stuff).
I mostly play old flight sims since my Dell notebook was originally designed for college students on a budget like me, but i think it's good enough most of the time.
IL-2 1946 and Falcon 4.0 are probably one of the greatest games ever played and certainly the top ones in terms of a loyal and fanatical fanbase that still mods and improves on games that are almost as old as myself.
