[What makes KSP use RAM]

The textures are .png format right? If the windows folder properties calculates the textures too, I think it's kinda weird that textures would get bigger when the game loads, or is the game extracting files and are the textures packed?

[What makes KSP use RAM]

Hello,

This has probably asked before, but I only found threads about x32 version. So I just installed about 2gb of mods for 0.24.2 clean installation, I launched the game in x64 version. The KSP folder is only about 3.2gb and KSP uses about 9-10gb of ram. What does the game exactly do to use ram more than 3 times the game folder size?

Thanks

KSP, first game I've played that uses over 5gb of ram

[Show off your awesome KSP pictures!]

Went 13 725 000 000 Kilometers away from Kerbin and took this with camera with amazing zoom.

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Installed couple more mods and tried to make and airplane that uses Fission Reactor. Well it was nice airplane, size of Boeing 747. I didn't save it, i ran out of Ram when i tried to start the engines. Also tried to put the reactor inside a cargo bay... nope it wont go in there, that's why it look'd dumb. The airplane is gone now.

Trying to remember the Nuclide Table.

[What kind of Hardware do you use to run KSP]

AMD FX-8350

4Gb Kingston 1600Mh DDr3

AMD XFX 7850 900/1200

1Tb Samsung HD103SJ

Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

Not enough Ram at all and Ram cost way too much. Damn tablets.

[Helicopter building]

Hello.

I'm using [0.20] Firespitter propeller plane and helicopter parts v5.2 mod and im building a helicopter. My problem is... My helicopter flips all the time and crashes to ground. If i do same looking helicopter in game like in video, still does the same thing. Did i miss some control stuff?

Thanks.
