SUMMARY

RealLife Preset 2.x for ATS aims to improve current ATS 1.4x graphics.

It works pretty well with ETS2 too, but keep in mind that all tweaks are based on ATS lighting and color palette.
Anyways, I got very positive feedback by users who used it with ETS2.

It is recommended to leave SSAO and Antialiasing enabled in ATS graphics settings, and disable other graphics/weather mods, since it is based on the default weather and lighting system. You can eventually keep ProjectNG enabled if you use it.

In order to use this preset you must download and install ReShade from: https://reshade.me/

Nor ReShade, shaders or Pascal Gilcher's RTGI are distributed with this preset. You need to download them from their respective websites.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You can use this preset even disabling RTGI and eventually go with MXAO, which provides similar results with much less hardware requirements.

If you are using RTGI, here are system requirements:

• 1080 @ 60fps - you need at least a GTX 980 Ti
• 1440p @ 60 fps - you need at least a GTX 1080 Ti.

DOWNLOAD

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.
