Hi
Actually in K2 are no good setting for exterior. Missing good environment light: Physky2 from K3. You use Texture Environment with color gradient.
Also the best solution is to use Path Tracing.
I will try tomorrow make simple scene for exterior with my setting.

Here is what I use (same I use in interiors):
- Texture Environment as background light
- Sun Spot as Sun - position control of that is from TARGET_SUN Null by rotation (do not touch Sun! is always 1 km)
- Sun Spot has Kray Power Shader 3.0 (select Sun and press "m" under Layout) it make stronger photons in situation when they hit dark surfaces
- GI resolution is for Exterior (interior needs maximum 300 mm)
- of course minimum system rendering is QMC but I suggest Path Tracing (just switch in Kray to PT)

This is fake light but more important is that light gives no error (do not use HDRi because for that you need special system in Engine which protect you from bad photons...it doesn't exist in K2. This is call importance sampling - already working in LW native but I do not know how good it is)
