Hmmm, I don't know about anyone else, but I can't make this tutorial work at all. I was interested in the idea of adding to the sunlight in the right direction, but
a) all the settings for the terrains leave them hanging about in mid air,
b) the camera setting gives you a render that's almost black (the camera being way too close to the terrains) and
c) double clicking while holding down the alt key does put a yellow star in the scene to show the sun position, but all the settings are so far out of wack that you have to look above to find it, not just swing east or west.
(I'm assuming here that by "Alt Gr" he means the "Alt" key - since I only have an "alt" key, not an "Alt Gr" key, but I could be mistaken.
I thought originally it might be because I was following the tut in B6, so I tried again in B5.5 - same result.
If someone else has version 5 of Bryce, maybe this tut will only work for that, but it's darned hard work in B5.5 or 6
