How to improve FPS

[7499275]

Since .21 and the new terrain for Kerbin I always have very low FPS if I look at Kerbin while launching, in atmosphere or even in Kerbin's SOI.

I know I'm not giving much information but I don't have a lot to give I just need some help with this because it is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance guys

Set your terrain detail to Low. Helps my FPS at least, but does introduce some twitchy surfaces and graphical glitches. Generally not bad enough compared to the gain in FPS though.

That helped some but still only getting around 12 fps... But will do for now. Thanks.

Go into the settings.cfg file and scroll down to where the planets are and find the ones with oceans, change the maxquality setting to 1. No need to touch the distance personally but you may find reducing the figures could also get more FPS if you need it. Kerbin's Oceans will be the main one to bring your fps up unless you have missions on Laythe and Eve too.

Also how many pieces does your craft use? You may just be maxing out your processor with physics calculations

Most of the speed increases for KSP come from increasing CPU speed, and to a lesser extend RAM (but once you reach 4G, thats it).

KSP looks graphics intensive, but graphics are rarely the bottleneck.

As too my part count it was only 14 pieces that were in orbit... 30 when launched... And in the cfg file I will have a look at that momentarily if I recall you can change the max sub division for kerbins oceans to really help.
