Don't you mean 1024X256? Or did you scale up a 512X256 to 1024X512? Anyway, if you open up tat2_sky_dome.msh in a hex editor or Notepad and search for .tga, does GSC_sky.tga come up? If not, there's your problem. The texture won't simply show up if you reference it in your .sky file. You must edit the skydome MSH so that it uses that texture name.
