In this tutorial i will be using the Motocross Madness 2 Track Editor (Armadillo)

ok for the Sky thing you can select different .cub files to changes what your sky looks like that one is pretty easy to understand
You can also make your own .cub files
   
now for the Eco-System
Click what kind of Eco-System you want like Desert or Forest
ok now that you have done this click on
Num Objects and type in how many objects you want like if you were making a forest that would tell the Armadillo how many trees you want 40000 is enough for me
   
The Ambient Lighting is how Bright you want everything to be
0 is NO LIGHT at all
255 is all the light you can handle
   
ok for Directional Lighting (Sun)
this is where the sun is coming from, the height of the sun and what color the sun is

Changing the Heading will change where the sun is in the sky 0-360 like is it coming from the East, West, North, South, South West

Change the Pitch to change the height of the sun 0 to make the sun way down on the ground 90 to make it Directly up in the sky
it has to do with degrees 45 is in the middle

Color is just like in Photoshop when you are changeing the RGB color
for each of those colors
0 is Do not show this color
255 will make this color come out really Bright

so if you want it really bright outside make it around 200 - 200 - 150

If you want the moon to be out just make it somewhere around 30 - 40 - 50
   
ok the Fog Options
this is just like the Sun color but it is the color of the fog on your track
i have this feature off in mcm2 so i dont ever fool with this i guess it would be fun though
just change the numbers to change how much of each color you want 0 is none of that color and 255 is the brightest you can get that color
