Is there a way to bring back the old physicsless behavior of past 1.0?

[omelaw]

I heard that until 0.90 physicless parts are skip a lot of physics( mass, drag, etc...)

 

It would lighten up the physics lag of my 250 part space station..

 

and I want to try this

No, there's no way to do that, not without a mod. Perhaps such a mod exists, but given that the stock game keeps getting better all the time, my impression is that trying to take the game back to older, less-good versions' behavior is not super high on most mod authors' priorities.

If your goal is a less laggy station, going back to 0.90 behavior wouldn't help you anyway. The new behavior in 1.0+ does add to the total mass and drag of your ship, so that you can't exploit it anymore like that video. However, it's done in a way that isn't any more computationally expensive. Your space station would be just as laggy in 0.90.

On the other hand, if what you want is to be able to do physically unrealistic exploits like that video, then that's easy. Just write yourself a snippet of ModuleManager config to make things 1/10 the mass, or 100 times the thrust, or whatever other change strikes your fancy, and you can get up to all the kooky hijinks you want.
