The new stock fairings are nice but lag the editor to hell.

[Xyphos]

the lag is caused by the continual updating to the fairing dissections in the editor whenever you move the mouse near them.

I suggest that the "live updating" is replaced by a simple fading outline rather than an animated disection.

I know your feeling, but yet i don't think that any feature should be removed from a game because obsolete PCs cannot handle it. Mine is faaar frome awesome, but i still don't want the fairings to change that way. (they suck enough already)

I've tried it on an old Core 2 Extreme 2.8GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB, and don't get obvious lag from the fairings fading and moving around. They are quite snappy and responsive to the mouse, and the editor is lag free. I suspect you may have some other issue, such as graphics settings too high for your system, or a bad GPU driver, or something about what you are doing. KSP is quite playable on that old system, if I choose appropriate and reasonable graphics settings, giving 50 FPS and green time dilation for simple scenes (e.g. single medium complexity craft in active flight, but many flights on rails).

Some more detail on your system, your mods, and just what sort of craft you're editing is in order, I think, if you want to be taken seriously. Do you have problems with graphics options turned down, no mods installed, editing a small to medium sized craft, with a small payload fairing? If not, which of those factors has to change, and by how much, before you experience problems?

It's not a problem for me, so there is no problem at all.

disagree with your logic, sir.

if there was an option to disable the animations, I would.

The fairings are working fine for me too, without any lag. You should probably start with a support thread, with all of the info Murph asked for.

[treejoe4]

add them last then

im not getting any lag

[Wirebraid]

I don't get any lag, and my system is pretty old.

What I don't like about them is that they look so half-done. Sharp edges, texture repetition not matching the tank style, and the pointy top instead of a nice rounded end in the style of the aerodynamic cones.

I like the solution, but the implementation needs some serious polishing IMO

Do you disagree with his logic, or that made up quote?

He asked what your hardware specs and graphical settings are, because he's not seeing lag on an old, not-at-all powerful system so either you're trying to run KSP on an unsuitable machine, or you've set it up wrong, or there is actually a KSP bug that makes it lag when it shouldn't. He's trying to eliminate the first two options before we consider the third.
