me too, i dont use RCx ... beta is still working better

[tonyote]

Make sure there's no glass in the windows, dielectrics don't work correctly in BETA, they don't let light pass through as it should
And rather than changing your latitude/longitude values, have you tried changing your month/hour parameters, these affect more directly in sun position
Also make sure you enable phisical sky AND sunlight

hope this helps

can you post your scene mate? beta shouldnt be doing that

[siliconbauhaus]

zip the file up and host it somewhere that people here can download it to help you out....rapidshare is fine

[tonyote]

Maybe your whole scene is not situated correctly
Try placing a big cilinder in the middle of your floor and then render WITHOUT walls or ceilings, then if there is sunlight at all you will see where is it coming from, maybe your scene is correct but it is in the shadow part of the sun.
I would try somthing like: city Barcelona, 6th month, 13pm, see how that works.. if that doesnt help.. then i donkt know what could possibly happen, maybe it has something to do with a bug

hope that helps,

And one question:
are both scenes the same? i mean the one where you could see the floor and the one you are working in right now?

Just a tip to determine where the sun is coming from.

Using the default location (Madrid), which is in the northern hemisphere, your sun will be pointing from the bottom of the screen (which would be South). At the default time settings, your shadows should point almost directly North (towards the top of the screen).

Setting the time to before noon will have your shadows pointing up and to the left - after noon will point them up and to the right.

Setting the lattitude to a lower value will put the sun in a more vertical position and shorten your shadows (untill you get to zero, which would be the equator).

For the Northern hemisphere, setting the month to January (winter) will cause your shadows to be longer, and setting it to a summer month will cause the shadows to be shorter.
