Ways to make sky boxes?

[JNeedham301]

Hi, I have been trying to make a skybox for a replica track that I am making and have been using SMR's tutorial to make one from Google Maps http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic.php?t=33005. The only problem with this method is that I can't get close enough to the track on street view so my skybox is nothing like the track irl. I was wondering if there is any other ways to make skyboxes? I am looking for one with a overcast sky if anyone can link me to a track with one like this. Has anyone made one using google earth as I can get closer to the track using that? The track that I am making is Preston Docks MX and its sorta in the middle of no where next to a river. Cheers

Thanks I have tried it and it turned out pretty well, not overcast sky but it will do unless i can find another one.
