One of the advantages of the new display-engine in Euro Truck Simulator 2, is the possibility to use High Dynamic Range (HDR). This has a better handling with light effects in the surroundings.
At this right moment, SCS Software is checking this new technical function, to get the best and right artistic effects. The first results are promising. In the screenshot below, you can see a comparison with the new HDR (top) and the older techniques (bottom), used in games such as German Truck Simulator and UK Truck Simulator
This new HDR-screenshot is a bit over-saturated, but it's stilla work in progress picture, so it will be changed.
At this moment SCS Software is still tweaking the parameters. A promising thing is, SCS is capable to bring weather conditions and time of the day better on screen. For example: a huge contrast on a sunny afternoon or soft shadows in the evening. WIth HDR, the world will look more vivid
