Realistic Headlighting

Description
This mod is a rework of headlighting, more realistic.
It supports 17 model of SCS trucks.
This mod is not change your truck exterior or traffic truck exterior. Only change lighting of your truck when you are driving.

This mod can't be used with other mod to change the color of headlights.
If when you use with other environmental mod or weather mod, please set a priority higher of this mod.

  Rework from SCS original
- New mask texture for each lighting pattern. Lighting little longer and little wider.
- Some trucks with projector type low beam, add unique mask texture.(*1)
- Rebalancing the brightness in between the lighting pattern.
- Adjust the lighting color of standard headlamp. Looks like halogen lamp. LED headlamp hasn't change color.
 * From ATS 1.40, SCS has prepared a .sii file for LED headlamp. But it's not working properly. So this case, MOD change both file, standard and LED, to LED color.
- Adjust the lighting angle. In SCS original Low beam, lighting direction to the too much right and near. So adjust the lighting both of lamp, just front little farther.
- Adjust the reflectors setting, height and distance.
- Expand the lighting range on graphics process. It's provide you more natural depiction and better visibility. but little heavier to processing.

(*1) Kenworth T680 2014, T680 2022, Peterbilt 579, 389(with standard grill), VOLVO VNL 2014, VNL 2018 and Western Star 5700XE.

The mod doesn't work for me. Is it because of version 1.52?

unexpected, suddenly - took a new job (at night) with heavy special freight and all the police and safety-lights caused very ugly light areas around - disabled this mod: fine
set from ultra to low quality: gone, but that's not THAT solution :)

I forgot to mention this is a good mod we like this mod it just wont work until we validate all ats files every time we want to play and some times it still doesn't work right...but hey im going to keep trying till I hopefully see an update because we like this while we drifto pete 389 while banging out to our song of the night...

Deja Vu!
I've just been in this place before
(Higher on the street)
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
(Standing on my feet)
It's so hard when I try to be me, woah

Thanks for your work btw I genuinely mean it we like this mod over the others and we hope it will work again properly soon!
