It seems to me that when using the preset skies, either in 10.5 or 11, regardless of the position of the sun (time of day) it won't render shadows, I have checked all the settings, and turned off all the clouds, what else could I be missing.

under sun tab/ custom sun object

drag in a light to this field. change your light settings as usual on the actual light.

In R11, check the "Sun" checkbox in the Sky Manager (left hand side).
In R10.5 it should actually work "from scratch".
