Are your sky files called morning.sky, day.sky, and night.sky.

Just noticed that your using the sky_yav2.msh skydome model which uses sky_yav2.tga texture, yet you have "morning" as your texture. Unless you hex-edited morning in to the model it won't use that texture.

Also, did you also want to add lighting and effects with your random skies.

That could be it then, with a bit of luck.
