I just deleted them all form the config file, yea they really do suck the frames. Are you actually going underwater?

Are the colliders turned on for those objects? If they are, THAT is what is causing the FPS drop. Just disabling them should provide a nice boost. I think I disabled the ocean bottom colliders in GPP and SVT. I'll have to double check. There really is no point in making them tangible

Eeehhh I dunno - I've disabled all the colliders for the regular terrain objects a while ago and didn't really notice a difference. I could test again, but from what I remember I was rather underwhelmed at the impact

older PC's definitely can feel the effect from colliders, beefier ones usually don't.

 

Either way I threw together this cfg to disable ALL colliders for anyone interested. Just drop it anywhere in your GameData

This mod appears not to be working for me, I`m not getting the suit textures, or the extra ground textures, the clouds work (I think). Any ideas as to why? (I can send picture of gamedata folder if required)

Greetings!  

I've been wrangling with this mod for a few days now and I think I almost got it to work.  My problem now is these weird blocky shapes that appear to be clouds:

I've tried looking around the EVE configuration menu but I have no idea what I'm looking at or what to change.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Also, here is a link to my log file, in case that helps.

Thanks!

You aren't using the right particle texture.

did you follow the install instructions posted on the past few pages? Might have saved you some "wrangling"

Hello, I am looking for a mod that will incorporate lightning flashes into EVE clouds (in 1.2). I saw Astronomer's Visual Pack - Interstellar V2 had lightning flashes in the pack but the mod is no longer up and running. I figured the best place to find such a mod would be here. Please help so I can make my new Kerbal Krusade series even better . Thanks.

Oh, Astronomer's Visual Pack is certainly not dead.

hey @Proot, hope all is going well getting back into things! KSA is going to be hitting space soon so I'd like to know if there will be any extreme changes to the Kerbin texture. I'd like to avoid any retcons - your Kerbin with the high detail land and the water coloring is still the best IMO

[Proot]

Hey there. Working on it. Basically trying to get everything working properly (I'm a bit rusty!). And basically very focused on performance (terrain scatters are pretty tricky in the balance among beauty vs. performance). Terrain should remain as in the last version, at least for Kerbin, that is sure.

I'm so sad that this scene reduced the game on my PC to a barely operable state Really wish Squad had done a better job with terrain scatter. This can't be a Unity limitation.

Ehhh, your gfx card is three gens past my HD7970 so better performance might be noticeable but if you really want to try then follow these steps:

1. Open "Settngs.cfg" in your KSP main folder
2. Search for "TERRAIN"
3. Make sure is says preset = High two lines below
4. Search for "name = High" to find the high detail terrain presets
5. Modify the Kerbin node to maxSubdivision = 10 and minDistance = 23
6. Open your "KSPRC.cfg" in the KSPRC folder and search for "maxLevel" - set it to 23
7. Make sure terrain scatter is enabled and set to max density
8. Go to coordinates 31.20086,-83.4259 and see how your rig handles it

So yea, as you can see I'm running a LOT higher detail than stock. (I only run it this high for photos - I generally leave minDistance at 16 so the mountains west of KSC are better defined)

Depending on how terrain scatter is implemented the fastest GPU/CPU in the whole damn world is not going to make any difference

Does this work with KSP 1.3?

If you update the dependencies, yes.

Lightning? <watches the vid, sees lightning on the dark side of Duna and Jool>
LIGHTNING! OMG, I thought auroras & dust storms were the end-all be-all! <passes out from the excitement>

so you going to try what I told you? I'm upgrading my GPU to AMD Vega when it drops later this year so I'm actually seriously curious as to whether you later-gen card will see a boost in performance or not. My CPU is an Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz

that's nice ok ill do it high res thing you told me in days ago

I tried using this, mostly just want the nice looking planets/terrain. Already using Astronomers Visual Pack.

 

Looked like it was going to be fine, KSC looks nice, I went into the Tracking Center to have a look at the planets, looks superb.

But as soon as I launched a vessel my FPS tanked hard, basically unplayable. Is there any parts of this mod I can remove/tone down to increase performance? As I said I just want the nice terrain and planet textures, but I'm guessing it's the textures when in a vehicle causing the huge FPS loss.

 

Is this just a no-go mod for me?

I just get a black screen when I start a secession. I don't need 1.1.2 for this do I? I can use 1.3 or 1.2.2.

Here's where you messed up:

PRESET
{
  name = High
  PLANET		 
  {
    name = Kerbin
    minDistance = 8
    minSubdivision = 10
    maxSubdivision = 23
  }

should be:

PRESET
{
  name = High
  PLANET		 
  {
    name = Kerbin
    minDistance = 23
    minSubdivision = 1
    maxSubdivision = 10
  }

it still takes long to load but it works. if I put the cords correctly I got around 13 fps at that spot with volumetric clouds. specs rx 480 and i7 4770.

You're missing a lot of scatter objects. Look at my photo again and note the trees dotting the distant mountain slopes
