Recommended Graphical Addons?

[mormaii2]

Hello guys, I'd like to know which are the recommended graphical addons compatible with the latest version of KSP? I recently bought a new and really good computer and I'd like to be able to make the game look even better!

Thank you very much

The usual suspects are:

PlanetShine

HotRockets!

Distant Object Enhancement

Texture Replacer and its various content packs (planet textures, suits, Kerbals etc.)

EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements (EVE) and its various content packs (for example Better Atmospheres or Astronomer's Visual Pack)

Don't forget EVE and Astronomers pack. While it is a b**** to install, once you get it working it is absolutely beautiful.

I would strongly recommend astronomers interstellar v2 pack as well! It's like a whole new game. I added the skybox and lens flare from someone else because of personal preference but all the necessary mods are in the pack, you just add onto it what you like then. I will try and find the skybox and lens flare I'm using and update.

Edit: found it, I used Proots skybox and lens flare, once the initial mods are installed you can just pick and change the actual visuals and textures from other modders. Link here.

"Don't forget"?

Both of them are literally in the exact last line of text directly above your post, fully spelled out...

Ah. Didn't see it. Sorry.

The latest Astronomer's pack is in CKAN now. I literally installed it by clicking half a dozen checkboxes.

I was having memory issues, even when running in opengl. I am assuming that's fixed when installing through CKAN? Also, how do I install CKAN on Mac? All I can download is the .exe file.

Thanks
