So proud of myself :)

So after working on a nice 3 person deep space vessel and failing due to performance issues (would slow down comp, and not allow me to make proper adjustments on take off), I built a 1 person ship and made it to Duna on my first attempt.

This makes me feel so good, all the good things I learned while making trips to Minmus and the Mun.

Wasn't most efficient though, wasted most of fuel to get there, only 104L left on main engines, then I have the lander, so hes stuck there but hey made it.

Won't let me screenshot....wish I could though right now, so happy!

Just wanted to share this

Did you update your drivers? I have to do that almost every update..

(I don't know why, but it solves most of the lag for me)

No, it probably doesnt help with 300 parts on the rocket either.

I just got a new MB and CPU Heatsink in today, so Im going to be formatting the HD, installing the MB and a fresh copy of windows, then OC'ing my CPU from 2.4ghz to roughly 3.2-3.6.

Ill see if that helps, but hopefully a combination of new drivers and that will make a BIG difference, but will see.

You do that, and it will should fly really pretty on any gpu (I have the oldest one, it runs @ 30FPS avg. on max settings with 306.23 version of drivers)

Nice, I hope I get that performance after I OC. Hopefully by the end of the year ill find a new gpu too, currently looking at a gtx 480....couple that with a lets say 3.4ghz quad core. Ohhh yeah

Oh btw, just tried a night landing on Duna. If it was day time, not on the side of a hill, and if I didnt cut engines to soon. I would have been on the landing gear. But didnt crash, guess im loading quick save and going to wait for a day landing.

I disabled SM3 terrain in options and suddenly I can play the game at full details:)
