why scs software doesn't care about graphics in game?

[Optional Features]

@Duke49th I admit to being lazy, but I am not stupid. I have been playing ATS for several years now, and despite a few attempts, I cannot make even simple edits to mods without excruciating amounts of work.

And even if I could mod as well as the best in the community, the impact I could have on the game is very minimal at best. Much of what I want in this game (or in a game in general) is just not possible.

That's the issue more than anything.

For example: these pics. Everything shown in them is trucking related. Pretty much none of it is possible in SCS games. Some of the vehicle types aren't even possible due to constraints (like the pole logger).

No amount of modding skill can make these things possible.

I just want to see dirt, finally. They even experimented with it before. Can we please have dirt, Pavel?

I'll go even simpler: dirty windshields. How can I drive cross country and not encounter a single insect lol?

It would even be greater if the equipment was American instead of all this foreign stuff..

Oh the cargo and decor? Yeah, that would be nice.

At least we have dirt and bug mods for the windshields. Beats me why SCS can't implement it in the base game:

I spent some time reading most of the 37 pages of this thread and there are some very valid and informed points made here.
For me...I have been hooked on this game (ATS/ETS2) for about 5 years or so...I used to play it on a crappy laptop with an integrated graphics card which wouldn't allow me to play above 75% scaling (50% was better) but I happily played for 2000 hours and was more into the relaxation/immersion of the game. Fast forward to last year and I bought a Gaming Laptop so I could enjoy the game with improved graphics and performance...I love it and don't care if it's cutting edge or photorealistic...I think the games look amazing and I enjoy them for what they are...a nice relaxing drive. I can run 200% scaling and everything on high/ultra and cap my frames at 72fps and my laptop runs this game perfectly...I'm a big fan and think SCS is doing a wonderful job with updates and DLC's...just my 12 cents (adjusted for inflation)

I've almost mistaken this screenshot with real life. How exactly does this game look bad? I think it's just inconsistent, but the graphics imo are 6 atleast for me. ATS especially can be downright gorgeous.
