You can scale the world down with 'Scale World' and then you enter the exact same value you typed in for 'Scale World' in 'PlyerScale' in the PlayerSetupEntity.

This is because the skybox always has the same value for its biggness i think.

i'd stay clear of sky boxes, they have a bit of problems,

use the skydome it's much better,
and can do alot more,

also with the sky dome you can specify the height of it, also have day and night dynamic changes, clouds, terrain ect....

it really is a much more versitle feature than that of skyboxes.

Hmm. The only time I've had the tops of my buildings cut off was with a skydome. Although, I haven't used the skybox with the latest RF. I'll give it a try and see what I can see.

I didn't think there was. Here is a link to the online help page for skydomes:
