Hi T{h,}orsten,
I'm pretty sure the sky dome disabling was an attempt at frame rate
optimization from years ago -- which probably seems pretty silly with
today's hardware.
I bet there's a line of code somewhere that looks like:
if ( visibility_meter > 1000 ) {
do_sky_dome_stuff();
}
Probably a very simple fix once we find where that code lives these days.
Curt.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
