Sorry glick I have not seen this before, have you tried different render quality settings or tried a quicksave and quickload?

Yes i tried all of the things

I know the Intel Iris isn't a top of the line Nvidia, but i would think it should be able to render the textures better that that.

It's definitely a graphics card issue, try lowering the render settings or updating drivers and see if that works

That is not a graphic card issue, that is LOD bug. LOD are managed by the game, not the graphic driver.

This screenshot is not that bad. On Mun, it can get much uglier really fast.

Hmm. What is LOD bug? Maybe it will be fixed soon :/

(Excessive simplification) Level Of Detail. Stuff gets more detailed as you get closer to it. Or not

put the terrain scatters on and scatter density to 100%

it doesn't take away any performance and you can always see if it helps

Glick, please re-install KSP, if this doesn't fix the issue please post your KSP.log, hastebin.com is good for that
