you need to use radiosity if you wish the high ambient of
your plane to actually light other objects. However, that can
be quite painful to use, especially for your outdoor scene
which may have enough other issues with all those stacked
refracting planes. You could also try MCPov, which uses a
different (easier to use) technique for global illumination.
