Start time of day in editor.

I am converting a map to beamng (https://www.beamng.com/threads/cadwell-park.109008/) and time of day is driving me nuts. In fact most settings in the sky and sun folder from the original template map have given me trouble a few times. Mostly with values that reset or flat out refuse to change. Obviously starting them over would be the reasonable thing to try which I had to do three times with scatter sky, and it still resets logWeight sometimes.

All of those I can live with, I just don't want peoples first impression of the map to be at night time which is what the exported map starts at. The one in the levels folder when I am editing is stuck at very early morning, which is better if not ideal.

I've tried changing all sorts of values and restarting, clearing cache, mods, no mods, deleting timeofday and adding a new one, editing the file in txt, locked, unlocked.

When it sticks to a start time it stays there and I have no idea what else to try here. Any help or leads are appreciated.
