Hello, gentlemen!
Ruy Petra here, Brazilian, 43 years old; passionate about racing simulators (currently trying to win an international Grand Prix Legends championship) and equally enthusiastic about flight simulators.
In truth, anything powered by an internal combustion engine fascinates me, both in the real and virtual worlds, and I love operating a wide range of motor vehicles within the world of my PC — on land (whether on roads, rails, or racing circuits), on water (speedboats or ships), or in the air (whether civil or combat aviation).
For a long time, I dedicated myself to learning IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, and I believe I managed to grasp at least the fundamentals of military aviation. I have never ceased to be passionate about historic aircraft, regardless of era — from the Demoiselle to the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, passing through aircraft such as the SPADs, Fokkers, Gee Bee, P-40, P-47, P-51, Bf 109, Fw 190, Me 262, North American F-86 Sabre, MiG-15, Grumman F-14 Tomcat, up to the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, Su-22, and Sukhoi Su-25, among many others.
At the moment, I am dividing my attention between two distinct worlds — beginning simultaneously in Digital Combat Simulator and Rise of Flight, with the latter currently taking up most of my time and enthusiasm.
I prefer to learn everything as scientifically as possible, and I hope in time to be able to share useful tips and insights gained through my own learning process.
I hope to be a worthy new member of this forum.
