The horizon

[Rhyunix]

Is it just me-

Every time I look at the horizon, LAG SPIKE

???

Is this the same with everyone - am I not alone in the world of kerbals who have to look up to avoid rapid dis-assembly due to lag?

This would be more suited in gameplay questions.

It's known that the terrain can have a heavy impact on FPS, you can get around it by setting your terrain quality to low, that however introduces graphics (and sometimes ingame physics) glitches. Another solution is going into your settings config and changing the values for the oceans in particular.

For example:

name = KerbinOcean

minDistance = 3

minSubdivision = 1

maxSubdivision = 6

Do the same for all oceans. You can also tweak the terrain settings to your liking.

I have frame rate issues when looking down on terrain, but that's because my computer is poopy.

I used to have serious lag issues with the horizon any time I was below about 300km, and sure enough it was the oceans. Following Johnno's instructions should fix it.
