Increase Load Distance .23.5

[Paperback Writer]

One thing that bugs me in Kerbal Space Program is the load distance. Especially with the asteroids. Larger asteroids are so big they just sorta appear right in front of you. As a suggestion, I think you should make visual models load at least 10 km away and then have physics load at 2.5. Or as an alternative solution I think you should add a setting where you can change the visual and physical load distances (independently) in vanilla KSP. I personally like watching stuff come in from really far away, and to have stuff like asteroids, which would look cool to slowly get closer, to just pop into existence right in front of you really ruins the mood.

I like this idea (don't know how hard it would be to implement though).

This mod increases the visual distance (not physical) to 750km.

This mod increases the visual distance (not physical) to 750km, so it's definitely possible.

The only problem I could see is with slower GPU's, namely intergraded, the increased rendering could slow things down if there are a lot of things around. It should be customisable.

It should be a slider, All the way to the left, Current load distance, all the way to the right, 500km Load distance.

That mod is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. There should be a similar feature in Vanilla KSP though.

Yep, this.

500km? Have fun melting your computer entirely. If you want to combine the previously mentioned mod with another, the Lazor System mod has an option to increase the physical load distance. (up to somewhere around 50km, I think, but then it's laggy as all hell)
