🌅 Lighting Improvements for ATS - is designed to enhance the visual experience of the game by improving its lighting system. Developed by contributors like snowymoon, this mod aims to address the limitations of the default lighting in ETS2, offering players a more dynamic and visually appealing experience.

  • 🌡️ Optional light temperature adjustments (e.g., halogen warmth or LED coolness)
  • 🚚 Upgraded truck headlights with improved range and clarity
  • 🛣️ Enhanced visibility of roads and objects in low-light conditions
  • ☀️ Refined sunlight rendering with natural shadows and intensity
  • 🌇 Smoother transitions between day and night (dawn/dusk effects)
  • 🕒 Potential dynamic lighting based on time of day
  • ⚖️ Balanced light/shadow to prevent overexposure or harsh contrast
  • 🧊 Custom improved rain/snow effects
  • 🌌 Dynamic sky/weather integration (future updates planned)
  • 🧪 Uses in-game weather and lighting data for realism
  • 🖥️ Optimized for performance with minimal FPS impact
  • 🌿 Forces highest vegetation quality for visual fidelity
  • 💧 Realistic puddle placement using specular data (not random)

    Totally useless without a monthly subscription!

    I guess you don't have 1$ per month to buy it. 🙄 🙄 

    Been a sub. It's awesome just like your mom 😉😋
    Maybe if you weren't such a lazy pos son I would have left it in your game until your birthday 😒
