KSP's atmospheric effects look puny compared to these

The engineers at RSI sure know how to use their shaders

Yes. Very very pretty.  Also they are not using Unity. Yes it would be sweet if KSP had such. But, it is CIG as well not just RSI... RSI I believe is likely only for the websight aspect. Most lkely wrong in that aspect.

It's nice that all that's getting into their game now, but none of it's all that new or impressive. KSP could easily adopt similar levels of fidelity (just look at Scatterer so far), although that would come at the cost of requiring much stronger GPUs and thus block out a large portion of the player community.
