You voted for default lighting system improvements ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/lighting-for-ats-125179494 ) and I'm going to do it. I will spend my next 2 weeks to improve default lighting system. I will continue new lighting system (PBR) after that. There is not that much I can do with default lighting system but I will try my best to improve the quality. I added a few screenshots with the changes I did today. I will try to do all the changes I can in 2 weeks to get best result with default lighting.

Also there will be multiple tonemap options so you can use the one you like https://i.imgur.com/ft8KQ8C.jpeg - https://i.imgur.com/uvbPtQg.jpeg
These are the changes probably I'm going to make:
Improve foliage rendering like I did in lighting improvements
New tonemap, HDR -> LDR for better colors
New reflection system (Screen Space Reflections) together with default reflections (not sure if its needed)
SSAO improvements
Maybe some fog changes
Maybe some rain improvements
