Parameters:: ambientLife: Boolean - enable/disable ambient life (bees, rabbits, birds, snakes, fish)
: ambientSound: Boolean - enable/disable ambient sounds (cicadas, owls, etc)
since 2.12: windyCoef: Number - (Optional, default 1) howling wind at heights, range 0..1
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: enableEnvironment false; // identical to enableEnvironment [false, false]
Example 2:: enableEnvironment [false, true]; enableEnvironment [false, true, 0.5]; // since Arma 3 v2.12
