Thank you both!
I will try to see what I can see.
If I already have a graphic mod (for trees, say) installed, will it be over-written by these modded files?

T,
No it should only effect the sky colors.

Okay, this sucks - For some reason I cannot attach the Kansas KS.ini file to this post. First time for that. Will keep fiddling here and see what is wrong. Great - another mystery. Grrrr....
Jack - When adding an attachment - you have to use
Internet Explorer , the
Mozilla FireFox doesn't work with attachments.

Am using Internet Explorer. Don't use Mozilla. Haven't for years.

I just tried this setting, but I can't really tell if the sky got any brighter.
Sky
SkyCubeR=255
SkyCubeG=255
SkyCubeB=255
SkyCubeR=255
SkyCubeG=255
SkyCubeB=255
SkyAlpha=255
SkyPlaneR=255
SkyPlaneG=255
SkyPlaneB=255
Slightly Jumping Topic: I did find out that changing the SkyAlpha=255 to a lower number causes the sky to become darker [/] , as if a thunder-storm is coming.
There is also another way of doing this, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are playing Multi-Player, it may cause a problem.
The Sky has never been locked , it is one of the few files that you could Mod when the game first came out.
So, if another Map has a sky-effect that you like, you can just extract that sky-effect from that map, and place it into the map that you are playing on.
This would require the LibEdit tool, that is one of the Map \ Tools that were used in the previous game to Mod \ Make maps.
