Hi chaps, I personally prefer to play with a nice bright sky and since the update it seems to be stuck on black.
I Use 117HD and this is the fix for it. Nice n Simple
1)
Go into 117hd Settings
2)
Scroll down to Environment settings
3)
Set your sky colour to whatever you want - if you use skybox set the "default sky" to skybox - if you just use standard 117 sky then select how i have in the image "117 HD Blue"
4)
CHECK THIS BOX "OVERRIDE SKY COLOR"
Your sky should now be a nice blue colour (or if you use skybox, whatever colour that is set to)
