mental ray is perfect for outdoorscenes. for plain outdoorscenes you dont necesarily need photonbouncing imo. are you looking for the skydome-effect? do the following:

-create a skylight (found in standard lights)

-in rendersettings turn on finalgather

-start with samples-settings between 10 and 100, for final use 600 to 1000, you can speed it up by turning up the radius/min radius.

 

done. hit render.

 

add a sun light as MR-area spot or direct and turn down intensity of both lights.
