Is it possible to have outdoor areas with Penumbra engine or is it limited to indoors only?

Do you mean the like...draw distance? If the engine can draw far enough to make outside areas?

Well even if it couldn't, you should be able to make dark areas so that you can't see far anyways...I think it would be possible, but perhaps this is a question for Jens or Thomas.
It is possible to have outdoor areas but there is no optimazition for it in the engine. So it would not be adviced to do huge open areas.
what do you understand under huge?
i wwas wondering to for outdoor areas (not BF2 sized) but just outdoor (with an open sky)
so any support for skyboxes?:p
Skyboxes are supported in engine, but it is not possible for users to add em.... yet :)

EDIT: moderatle sized outdoor is very possible. It is just a matter of not having too many objects that need culling.
