RealLife 1.2 Preset for ATS 1.39

OVERVIEW

RealLife Preset 1.2 for ATS is a ReShade preset which aims to improve current ATS 1.39 graphics.

Please go through the PDF in the package which contains all the instructions to set up ReShade and RL preset. 

It is recommended to leave SSAO and Antialiasing enabled in ATS graphics settings and enable HDR, but you must disable any other graphics/weather mods since this preset is based on the default weather and lighting system. However, you can leave ProjectNG enabled (if you use it) which adds just skyboxes, and it's highly recommended to use Spring or New Summer weather and vegetation by Grimes, available at: https://grimesmods.wordpress.com/category/ats-mods/ to bring to ATS much more life.

This package comes with 8 variants tweaked with different quality settings. It means that the eight presets looks almost identical, with just some tweaks to reduce computation complexity and run at high fps also on older computers and GPUs.

4 out of 8 presets use Pascal "Marty McFly" Gilcher RTGI shader which brings raytracing features to ATS. This shader is property of Pascal Gilcher and won't be distributed with this package. It can be bought only via Patreon subscription at: https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg

To run one of the RTGI variants, you need a powerful GPU since computations are quite demanding, even though the LOW and MED presets included in the package tends to reduce workload and are more suitable for non-recent GPUs.

The non-RTGI variant are tweaked to work as much as possible close to the look achieved with raytracing features, so the loss in terms of visual quality compared to the raytracing presets is very little visible. Those are obviously also cheaper in terms of GPU load than the RTGI ones, and can run smoothly on any setup.

In order to use this preset you must download and install ReShade (at least v4.9.1) from: https://reshade.me/

Instructions about how to correctly set up ReShade and use RealLife preset are included in the package. Nor ReShade, its shaders nor Pascal Gilcher's RTGI shader are distributed within this package.

You can get RealLife preset for free, just type 0 and you are good to go. However, if you appreciate my work and you would like to offer me a coffee, I will be very grateful to you. I'll keep improving this preset as much as I can, releasing new versions with more tweaks and improvements.

Being a ReShade preset, it could be used also on ETS2, but keep in mind that it's not designed for it since all tweaks are based on ATS lighting and color palette.
However I got very positive feedbacks by every users who tested it on ETS2.
