Check out this video if you want to experience a very realistic looking version of KSP!! I made my really best to find the most realistic looking mods to make a video using them.

RSS-Origin Exclusive add-ons with hundreds of asteroids, comets, moons and overhauls for RSS Brief Introduction Like the title, this mod is basically an expansion for "Real Solar System", and currently it includes following parts: RSS-Origin CelestialsPack, the major part of this mod, which adds plenty of asteroids, asteroid moons, comets, moons of gas/ice giants, dwarf planets, dwarf planet moons, and interstellar objects into real solar system, currently 141 in total. (dozens more in the future) (compatible with Principia) RSS-Origin RSSTexture&TopoRevamp, which overhauls some RSS celestials with more accurate, more realistic and higher res textures and topography. (16k maximum) RSS-Origin JSUNrings, which adds accurate and realistic rings to the 4 gas giants in our solar system. RSS-Origin GalaxyTex, which replaces your skybox with a high-quality Milky Way background. (64k maximum) Since RSS-Origin has a complete documentation on its github repo, more details will not be elaborated here. You can refer to the links below.

The next generation of space exploration. Our First Step II is designed by the international space community on Earth. Kerbals come together and make diagrams, planning what the station might look like in the future. The station is designed to be a safe haven for LEO crews and even a gateway to other near-Earth locations. Launch of Orbital Core 1 [OC1] Vehicle: Falcon Heavy Date: August 16, 2005 T+00:00:01 - Liftoff! T+00:03:23 - MECO & stage sep. followed by fairing sep. T+00:07:20 - SECO, preliminary insertion complete. T+00:10:19 - Payload separation. The next mission wouldn't be until 2011 — the space agency was more interested in other things but we're back to launching modules!

VNDvolumetrics is patch for RSS-Reborn, gives extra detail into RSS-Reborn. Goal of this mod is to contribute and adds small detail to @ballisticfox0's RSS-Reborn such as: Cirrus Cloud City light Fogs Rain Aurora And outer world beyond Earth! Currently this mod works as a separate patch from Ballisticfox's one to provide more frequent updates, but eventually it will gradually be integrated into RSS-Reborn. Download: Google Drive MOD DEPENDENCIES: True Volumetric Clouds release 3 by @blackrack RSS-Reborn by @ballisticfox0 and its dependency Module Manager Stock Volumetric Clouds's IVA rain sound, duna textures due to license issues. you can erase other files. Current progress -Add GGE integration as placeholder(will be reworked to volumetric cloud later) -Venus rework Planned work -Gas Giants rework: -Aurora for Gas Giants -Volumetric clouds -Scatterer rework Known issue Loading time problem on few PC Lot's of syntax error, will be fixed very soon Patch note License:

I have TUFX, PlanetShine, Scatterer, EVE, RSSVE and GGE installed as visual mods. First of all, I had this problem with clouds not working so I first reinstalled Scatterer and EVE, after that it did not get fixed, but the shadows on all the gas giants were fine. Then I reinstalled RSSVE and the clouds were back and working, but now for some reason the shadows on all the gas giants are very sharp and doesn't look right. Please help! Images:

I have started playing ro/rp1 recent but cannot get consistent accent profile and performance ( especially inclination ). Mostly due to not launching from equatorial plane and tilt of the earth. I have tried launching from French Guiana but for some reason it even more inconsistent than from cape Canaveral What is the inclination for a easy TLI ?

Hi, Im trying to install V1.0 Real Solar System with Kopernicus and ModuleManager. Below is the screenshot of my GameData but when I start KSP and I go to the solar system I can see the names and textures are the original Thank you

Originally released on github back in November/December 2021, I finally came around to making a KSP forum post for it! PRVE is a visual enhancement mod for Real Solar System. Components of the mod are derived from RVE64k, EVO, RSSVE, KSRSS, GGE, and much more. COMPONENTS: 32k Cloud texture with even higher quality detail 4k detail clouds texture 43k Earth city texture 64k Ground texture and shadows addon if desired Newest scatterer configs Wavy auroras GGE integration and optimization (Big thanks to @ballisticfox0) Custom TUFX and KS3P config (Use both for most optimal looks) MOD DEPENDENCIES: Scatterer (v0.0835) Environmental Visual Enhancements (v1.11.6.1) Real Solar System (v19.0.2.0) KSP (v1.12.3) PC REQUIREMENTS: This mod has been created with a computer rig of these specs running Windows: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 32gb RAM (Maybe a bit excessive, unless you use the 64k addon) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb Dual fans This pic uses a custom 16k color map for Earth's surface which may be available soon: Earth's Aurora: Sunset in Earth orbit: You may download this mod via CKAN or github Licensing:

Because Perseverance is just a tad small...

Modular KSRSS/SSRSS What does this mod do? This mod splits up RSS / KSRSS and makes them stock size, for example: If you just want the Earth and Mun, you can! What planets do you plan on including? I plan on adding support for most RSS planets. Check the Road Map below for more information Is this mod hard to run? Yes and no. Because of the textures it can be pretty ram intensive, but since it's only one body being highly edited you should have more fps than usual RSS or KSRSS. Does it have clouds and scatterer support? Of course! Both are included. Where are the clouds from? Here Massive thank you to Adiri, Astronomer, Themaster401 and the KSRSS Team for helping me out. Please read the README for licenses and other things: cfgs are CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 while all textures are all rights reserved to the original owners provided in the README, thank you!

With the help of many RO content creators, and members of the RO community, I present a RSS/RO edition of the classic Build, Fly, Dream trailer! I hope you enjoy.

I recently installed Real Solar System, Realism Overhaul, and other mods to the game because I wanted to try out some new and unique experiences. However, the game has been acting up ever since I downloaded these mods. When I start the game, it begins like normal, but when I load up my save file, I cannot click/enter on any of the buildings within the Space Center. To make matters worse, I am also unable to quit back to the main menu, forcing me to close the program via Task Manager. I have placed a link to access the log file of my game, and I would greatly appreciate it if there was a viable solution to these problems. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhgb5l9ci3276ay/AABaJAqLXDQIRg_JMijqgsDPa?dl=0

Realism Environmental Overhaul Version 0.3.2, For KSP 1.10.x - 1.12.x REO is a combination of RVE-64k, RSSVE, Astroniki's Sunflare for RSS, Astronomer's Visual Pack (all of which are licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0), a few custom textures and configs all put together into one mod. I'm still working on it and it's still a wip but you all are free to check it out. Dependencies: KSP Version: 1.10.1 - 1.12.x E.V.E. Version: 1.11.6.1 Scatterer Version: 0.0772 Scatterer Sunflare Version: 0.0772 Real Solar System Version: 18.4.0 Links: Download from Spacedock Download link for astronomer's visual pack Download link for RSSVE Download link for RVE-64k Download link for Astroniki's Sunflare for RSS Computer Requirements/Recommendations: this mod is designed to be run in DirectX 11, it has only been tested using DirectX 11, to enable: be prepared for very low frame rates if you don't have a high-quality GPU, this mod is as or more demanding than RVE I recommend you have 12-16 gigs of ram, but it should operate at 8 gigs Features: Earth city lights Earth clouds Earth aurorae Earth lightning Earth dust storms Venus aurorae Venus clouds Venus lightning Mars aurorae Mars clouds Mars lightning Mars dust storms Jupiter lightning Jupiter aurorae Jupiter clouds Jupiter rings Io aurorae Io volcanoes Europa geysers High-res Saturn rings Saturn clouds Saturn aurorae Saturn lightning Enceladus Geysers Uranus rings Uranus lightning Uranus aurorae Uranus clouds Neptune rings Neptune aurorae Neptune clouds Neptune lightning Titan clouds Titan lightning Scatterer Atmosphere configs for: Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus and Neptune Scatterer Ocean configs for: Earth and Titan. Known issues: Any issues you have with this mod should be reported to me directly This mod is very temperamental, I don't recommend tweaking unless you want a headache and are willing to break it and have to re-download it several times. Organization isn't great, it worked when I started this mod but it's a little weird now. Cloud particles (especially in dust storms) can have... strange RGB values, I have no idea what's causing this or how to fix it -found out how to fix this, should be fixed by version 0.3.3 On Io, there's an EVE "cloud" layer to replace the lava oceans since they don't render in the tracking station, map view or at high altitudes, this does occasionally cause clipping but there's really no way to avoid this except to extend the PQS range on Io, if you wanna see how that went... Here's the module manager patch that takes out other EVE stuff... if this causes issues for you just delete RealismEnvironmentalOverhaul/EVE/RemoveVisualOverlap.cfg... Anyway, here's the code: -no longer a feature Images: these images were taken in the tracking station so they aren't the best quality sadly, they're also shifted to the side a bit because I cropped out the side panel.

Recently I have downloaded RSS, or Real Solar System. However no matter what I've tried I cant get it to work. I have downloaded via CKAN and was using KSP version 1.8.1, as told by my peers. I get the RSS loading screens and everything, but once the game loads up, its stock KSP. I do not know if I'm missing anything, but I was told all I had to do was Download the RSS mod and switch to 1.8.1, and it would be ready to go. So if anyone could let me know if I am missing something that would be much Appreciated, Thanks.

Extreme Visual Overhaul for Real Solar System Hello, This is EVO, a visual overhaul for Real Solar System aimed at providing stunning visuals while offering great performance. EVO is a spiritual successor to @pingopete's RVE 64k project, and is meant to offer a similar level of visual fidelity, while offering more performance oriented options as well. EVO will also be open to contributions, ideally remaining a never quite finished project for the next few years. I was inspired to make this pack after seeing great breakthroughs in visuals for stock and modded systems, as well as errors when using some of my old favorites (such as RVE 64k) in newer versions. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― So far EVO adds the following: An almost no compromise combination of RVE64k and RSSVE 32k, 48k, and 64k Land Texture options, modified from RVE 64k New Ocean and Atmosphere configs for Earth New 32k 48k City Lights from Space Engine, with a new 8k City ground texture based on satellite imagery New Mars Textures Boot-prints for some celestial bodies A new Sunflare from @Avera9eJoe's beautiful Spectra Visual Compendium Scatterer 0.07 support, alongside Godrays and Wave Collisions An Optional TUFX Preset, based on RVE64k's legendary KS3P preset Fog to Venus and Titan Dust Storms to Mars Auroras to Jupiter Hexagon Storms to Saturn Geysers to Enceladus Lava on IO Much more... ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Troubleshooting/FAQ PLEASE READ: The Lights aren't showing up/ look off press alt+0, push the arrow in the EVE menu to go to textures and hit apply, go to city lights and hit apply, and if the terrain now looks off press alt+11 and map EVE clouds. The terrain is white/invisible! 99% of the time, this is due to an improper install, read the directions. Seriously. if that doesn't work, attempt the fix above as it often fixes that issue as well When is the next update coming? when it comes. I am in college, working a job, and streaming 2x per week alongside working on CH4 (soon) so be patient and enjoy the screenshots <3 ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Dependencies: Scatterer Environmental Visual Enhancement Real Solar System Incompatibilities: RSSVE, RVE64k WARNING: as of right now, Kopernicus Bleeding Edge is not meant to be used in Normal Play, it is no longer recommended for use with this mod. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Licensing: EVO is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0), so you are free to redistribute, modify and copy the contents of the mod so long as you attribute and credit the appropriate author(s), remain non-commercial and distribute it under the same license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) City Lights textures, and other textures labeled in the mod as space engine assets are NOT licensed under the above license and are being used at the permission of the space engine team DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Credits: @blackrack - Scatterer Adds better oceans and atmospheres to planets @JadeOfMaar -Sunflares of Maar Original author of the sunflare modified for use in @Avera9eJoe's Spectra @Waz - Environmental Visual Enhancements Adds tons of visual capabilities, far too many to list here @pingopete - RVE64K @tony48 - KSRSS(VE) Adds a whole lot of configs that mine are derived from, from snow to lava and much more @G'th -AD ASTRA I used their aurora textures and hexagon storm as they are easily the best I have ever seen @Theysen - RSSVE @Vabien - Kopernicus Expansion Continued-er Adds the ability for bootprints, alongside many, many other things @Shadowmage - TUFX Post Processing for KSP Special Thanks to: @jrodriguez for offering multiple textures, and input on the project @Jceratops for helping test the mod @pingopete for inspiring this project, and teaching me so much @Avera9eJoefor showing me cool things that EVE is capable of Download: Github Enjoy the mod, and feel free to offer contributions and suggestions,

Hey all. I haven't been around the forum for awhile, but per request I've started documenting my new RSS/RO/RP-1 career. The episodes should cover 1-2 years of launches, and be around 7 minutes long each. (now around half a year, 15 minutes long) Like the series? Support computer upgrades for future episodes! Latest episode: 25. First three:

This is a crewed mission to Mars, that I have worked on for almost a year. I used (and still use) KSP version 1.2.2 with Real Solar System, Realism Overhaul and Realistic Progression 0 mods (RP-0, not to be confused with the newer RP-1). The reason why I still use KSP 1.2.2 is because of my 4 year old RP-0 career save (created in January 2016) that is in the very advanced stage of progression. The year in that save is 2029 as of typing this post. It wasn't possible to transfer that save to KSP 1.3.1, because the evolution of RP-0 (called RP-1) that was released for KSP 1.3.1 changed too many things for my old save to be compatible. My long running RP-0 save is also the reason why completing my Mars mission took so long. It's not a 'single mission' save, there are many other missions in progress simultaneously, that need to be attended to from time to time (probe course corrections, moon/planet flybys, station crew rotations etc). More detail about my Mars mission and vehicles that took part in it, can be found here: https://imgur.com/gallery/6J8m9Iz - Mars Cargo Landers launches https://imgur.com/gallery/ArUGAnf - MTV assembly https://imgur.com/gallery/jfTB9sp - Departure to Mars https://imgur.com/gallery/DQkeCoQ - Arrival on Mars https://imgur.com/gallery/A965gZw - Departure from Mars

Hey guys, There are already some mods on my list for a new RO-safe. I found some mods that are proved to be RO compatible (FASA, Raidernick's mods). But I wondered whether anybody has more specific information, about RO-compatible mods, because the section in the RO-thread for parts-mods has been removed and I can't find reliable Information in the wiki. Thanks in advance

So I'm trying to start up KSP, but it stops halfway through, specifically at the stock jet engine for some reason. Is there something wrong with this part? Are there any conflicting mods? Mods I'm using: Realism Overhaul and Real Solar System including their dependencies as seen on the GitHub page. (https://github.com/KSP-RO) Real Solar System Visual Enhancements including its dependencies.

Hey, guys! For the last several months i've been working on my new KSP video. It would be action miniseries of 6 episodes, 20-25 minutes each. Here we go!

Hey, I'm looking to play the Real Solar System mod and I need some upgraded rocket parts to work with (getting to orbit with the stock parts is a pain in the ***). The Realism Overhaul Mod feels kind of overwhelming and I'm more looking for something like a rebalancing of the stock parts. Is there a nice mod for that? I'm open for other suggestions aswell.

I don't have any experience in modding ksp and I am playing on 1.3.1 with realism overhaul and I want to create my own parts but with realistic stats who hard is that? And who can I do that? Thanks for helping
