I hadn't noticed this thread.
Hello, my name is Aero. Well, not really- my name is Andrew but Aero will do fine.
Depening on how you look at it, I've been sim-racing for a long time (since ICR) but not really- it was just one of many games I played. I bought my first wheel in 2000, but I didn't actually seriously get into sim-racing until 2005 (posting on message-boards, racing online, pretty much forsaking all other computer-games, never unclamping my wheel and that sort of thing). So, overall I'm relatively new. I don't recall exactly when I bought my S2 license, I think it was last summer and I first played the demo a year or two before that, but I hardly played LFS at all until about two or three weeks ago (patch Y rekindled my interest).
I still haven't gone online because I'm still pretty slow (can barely squeeze out a mid-high 1:16 at Blackwood in the FBMW), and I don't know all the tracks yet (I'm working on them one at a time) so it'll probably be a few weeks yet. Still, having a lot of fun learning- that has always been my favorite part.
I like the direction LFS is taking and I'll be around for sure.
Nice to meet you guys.
Love,
Aero
