Graphic enhancements

[Shadows2b]

So, what do you guys use as of 1.1.2 to enhance KSP?

Astronomer's visual pack is quite outdated as of any other pack.and I can't find fixes.

 

Do you guys have any mods that work?

Stock Visual Enhancements + Scatterer + Planetshine + Distant Object Enhancement works nicely for me.

Oh I didn't knew this one.

Is Stock visual enhancements some kind of EVE?

Word for word.

Let me ask this noob question,

i took a look at the awesome screenshots of those mods, installed them rightaway, fired KSP up and... didn't see much of it ?! The space center view looks the same, water looks awesome when close but usually i am not. Mountains in the west look the same (from KSC), did fly around a bit and the ground looked the same. From my space station the city lights looked kind of weird and the landmass still had some LoD roughness. Also the clouds didnt look as nice as in the screenshots.

Is there some other mod that i need to install to "improve" the results ? AFAIK i have the important ones installed, like moduleManager and my rig runs DX11 64bit, no issues.

@NikkyD try clearing up your Gamedata folder and installing them using CKAN. That will make sure you have all the right configurations of the mods. It sounds like Scatterer's atmospheric refraction isn't working for you.

i deleted all mods before starting up 1.1, so everything is fresh. (should be)

I mean remove the mods you tried to install, then get CKAN, open that up, select the mods you want, and click "Apply Changes". That should install them correctly.

I just use plain EVE stock configs with the alpha A option (more clouds), PlanetSide, Distant Object Enhancement, TextureReplacer, and RealPlume.  Still waiting on updates for CollisionFX and CoolRockets.

Sadly Astronomer's was the only pack that I thought was a real improvement over Stock EVE.  SVE would be much better if it would work without Scatterer, but because of that pre-requisite I'd rather just use stock EVE configs.

And what for the Kerbin texture? In some videos kerbin looks awsomely detailled, how is it made?

Sometimes @KillAshley's KASE is used, although try turning up your texture resolution.

Scatterer is optional for SVE, it's not a dependency. SVE doesn't even change Scatterer's default configs.

Seems to work fine for me without Scatterer. I wonder what could be different in our installs?

[Alshain]

@Red Iron Crown  Hmm, I don't know but it was completely corrupted on my machine.  Kerbin was Pink.

Are you running it in opengl or dx11 by chance?

I'd like to give 6.4x scaling a try -- does somebody know if "Stock Visual Enhancements + Scatterer + Planetshine + Distant Object Enhancement" works there?

Works pretty well for me now
