not exactly the easiest thing to do. it also drops framerates.
first make a big box
go into face mode
flag all sides as sky
add a skydome template and add the script
insert terrain
rest is basic

-add an EnvironmentSetup Entity
In this entity:
-set UseFarClipPlane and UseFog to true
-insert values for the FarClipPlane and the fog (look in the manual for a better explanation, under EnvironmentSetup)

It's a bit of optimization, however in some scenes i turn those two off, because i want it that the player can see everything.
hope this helps for now...

a bit offtopic, but how do you turn off terrain in the skydome script?

I'm not sure how to exactly turn it off, but you could make it so low that it can't be seen.

RenderLandscape(bool Flag);
If Flag is false then the Landscape will not be rendered.
