What I did is have one IBL AO, and the other infinite. I noticed IBL AO have problems with shadows, unless someone can post otherwise about it. I used the infinite to give the suns position so I could get the proper shadow dimension. I did keep changing the shadow dial to get it darker, then lighter. I had it at about 3.500 which is shown in Pic above. It was very difficult to get a color to match the other shadows in the photo. For example the left side of road (Light pole shadow, and trees), then the building on left how the shadow has a blue to em.

Their are other dials when using infinite, I am not sure what they do. I haven't seen anyone chat about it. These are in "Depth Map Shadows": Shadow Blur Radius and Shadow Min Bias. Also I am not good in material room with lights.."Specular" and "Diffuse".
