Better to keep the stock release simple and add these in through mods.

With 1.6's performance changes, I have begun happily running Sci-Fi Visual Environments on my 3-year old iMac with nVidia graphics very well with medium textures. It provides clouds and dust without EVE and related mod overhead.

As Macs draws everything, with my relatively low 8GB RAM, I would lighten the textures and resolution to strike a balance and SvE works very well. I'm a happy camper there.

Per a related message: Turn DOWN your KSP graphics settings with a Mac when trying out visual mods then carefully increase some game settings to check performance to your liking. Macs has superior drawing ability but lower RAM and other factors of the OS mean that you're telling your Mac to do too much. Be sure NOT to run multithreading apps like Google Chrome when using KSP.

Thanks! Been looking for this info to get clouds on lap 1.6 and a new MacBook Pro.

Not me.

I see that as a complete waste of developer resources and cpu/gpu cycles.

But that's just me.

As a dev, I agree 100%. But it would be a nice option
