I think the problem now is that the nice scatter effect sky dome no longer
works correctly with any render mode in the git version. The scatter
effect sky dome will give you very pretty skies -- especially in
combination with advanced rendering, just don't look at the terrain or your
own aircraft model because those are now rendered incorrectly with many
missing effects.
