The mod IS NOT compatible with STLM because the author has modified the same files - I dont want to edit that files...
but IT IS compatible with the wonderful lighting mods IL2. 2 (DLC HoS + Blood&Wine) by r0x
and PLM Ultimate 7 (DLC HoS + Blood&Wine) by Mishikedman.
There are also compatible files for the Extended View Distance Mod (=Vanilla file) and Cutscene Lighting Mod (DLC HoS + Blood&Wine)
Cheers! All credits for the wonderful lighting mods to the authors! >>All modders are free of using that without permission...have fun!!
