Hello Everyone!

Hello all! Here's a little about me:

What's your real name, age?

Andrew Covaleski. I'm 32

From where you are?

I'm from Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Which Sim games do you play?

Primarily GTR2, GTL, and rFactor. I'm considering buying Automobilista and maybe Assetto Corsa.

How did You know about EEC Team? (If its a friend or from a different site please tell write who it is too)

Google search while looking for up to date discussion and mods for GTR2.

Do you ever race online?

I used to a lot when I was a teenager (NASCAR Legends with a joystick!). I haven't since then, but am thinking of jumping back into it, especially with winter coming.

Do you have enough free time to run on sundays? (Only important if you want to drive online)

Only afternoons.

Do you know something about modding, skinning?

Somewhat. I like to tinker with vehicle files a lot, so I have a decent understanding of how each file works and the effects on physics.

Any problem for you if we give access only for some Mods?

You're the boss.

Are you here only to grab mods and then leave us?

Can't say I'm the most social person in the world, but that's not my intention.

Please, write a few words about you (hobbies, sports, job, etc):

I'm an IT admin, and a youth & music pastor. I play volleyball and ultimate frisbee. I work on cars and motorcycles alot,
and enjoy them both when they're working. My favorite car of all time is the Porsche 917.

Welcome from a fellow Keystone State resident. Nice presentation

Hello and welcome to EEC!

Welcome to EEC, Andrew. Enjoy

Welcome Andrew. Lots of great people here and plenty to choose from. Online racing runs on Sunday afternoon our time (EST) and currently runs Automobilista.
Yeah, Porsche 917, you'll fit in just fine here. Enjoy!

Welcome to EEC Andrew, I'm actually a Youth and Worship leader at my church myself

Hope to see you on track mate

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

That's great, glad I'm not alone! Probably one of the craziest "jobs" out there, am I right?

On a completely unrelated note, I had the chance to drive a 1963 Ford Econoline pickup this weekend. Inline 6, 3 on-the-tree, manual brakes and steering. It was the craziest thing I've ever taken out on the road. I was cracking up the whole time

Good day everyone!

Sorry for the post resurrection - I have lost my access to the GTR2 private section so I'd figure I'd post in my original presentation and hopefully a moderator will smile upon me.

Most of my original presentation still applies except I'm a bit older now and now have a growing family! We just had our first child 3 months ago. He's a big monster so I've had to lift weights to be able to carry him for more than 5 minutes at a time. But he's an awesome little guy.

I've had a bit of a break from sim racing since covid and marriage and baby, but have recently gotten the bug again due to a work project that includes VR headsets! So I've been messing around with VR in my racing setup. What an experience!

Anyway, I'm currently messing around some physics and thinking about attempting some conversion of things. I may be reaching out to a few people for permissions, help, advice, etc. We'll see where life takes me.

Thanks all!
