If you are a PC based SIM fan then I reckon this is worth a look.
AMS finally launched this week (though the beta version has been around for months), having started life as a Brazilian Stock Car game (based on rFactor i think), it has now morphed into something with more global appeal. Of the PC sims i've played, it definitely has the right "feel" about it - force feedback via a wheel is the best i've found.
Good mix of cars, from Aussie V8's, a few formula cars, rallycross, Supertrucks, Karts and 60's style F1 car for those who liked (and may still like) the legendary (no pun intended) Grand Prix Legends.

If nothing else, their trailer is pretty neat - http://www.reizastudios.com/index.html

Just installed this after a long time just to mix things up a bit from PC2 and AC.

I like it but it's difficult to get the right xbox 360 controller settings. Mostly the steering sensitivity options, there's quite a few.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Downloaded some good mods including the F40 Evo, Indycar and F1 classics.

Honestly would invest in a wheel. That game is really a proper sim and designed to be best on a wheel and pedal setup.

Bit like trying to play Iracing on a pad really.

I have a Playseat Challenge and a G29 but sometimes just like to pick up the controller which works great in PC/PC2 and AC with the right settings but of course you're correct works best with a wheel.
