Patch 1.2 enable PBR shader ?

[Warsoul]

I heard PBR will be avaible soon for KSP. This is included into the 1.2 patch or we need to wait ?

There's now a KSP/Standard_Bumped shader, so it looks promising.

 And now I'm less confident :S I've been working on shader replacement for a while but that's not an out of the box solution, and it doesn't make using 3rd party shaders in models much simpler.

Too bad ! Why ?

No, 1.2 does not enable PBR / Unity-Standard shader support.

KSP does not support/setup/use ReflectionProbes which are needed for the PBR shaders.  As far as I'm aware there are problems with the multi-camera/multi-layer rendering scheme used by KSP (normal space, scaled space, etc..) that prevent ReflectionProbes from working out-of-the-box.

reflection probes do work. just not exactly as you'd expect. It's actually a very interesting way to get a behind the scenes look at how the KSP scenes are built.  Check Lilleman's plugin thread, I capped a few videos.

Why they opted for an custom shader instead of using standard shaders from Unity 5.4 ? For performance ?
