sunlight not lighting

[Dario D.]

1: I keep trying to get sunlight to work (the actual lighting, not the lens flare) but it's not doing anything. Everything's dark. Isnt it supposed to work with "fast" VIS?

2: How do you get a light to shine with infinite radius, like a sunlight? How did valve do the sunlight? Just with regular "light" entities?

I followed a tut, but...

1. For the actual lighting, use a light_environment
2. Infinite radius? You mean sunlight completely covering the whole sky?

also if you are using a light_environment make sure the angle is horizontal
