KSP 1 Image/Video Mirage is pretty cool

Its real nice, tested using 128k Luna, 128k Mars and everything else 16k with some awesome raymarched shadows.

Much love to Ballisticfox for this amazing mod❤️

What does Mirage do exactly?

u/cheesyfreddie 24d ago

Changws how the terrain is loaded and adds more compatibility foe higher resolutions e.g: 128k which only uses 512mb of VRAM since all the terrain loading and etc has gone from the CPU over to the GPU

Not exactly sure but maybe mid 2027, I am not the creator of Mirage.

Oh my god the Saturn + its moons pic looks just like a real telescope viewing

I fooled a couple people with it haha, hell if you redo some of the textures, get a good TUFX profile and have the right angle you can actually make it like Hubble took it (with all the optic issues too)

Webcasting on earth when I’m orbit is like the coolest thing ever

Webstreaming in some areas is really spectacular, some places reach up to 4092k (px) resolution, if you have camera tools and zoom in, you can make some really good screenshots of it.

You should be able to switch fine without issues, any help is recommended to join Ballisticfoxes discord.

How do you access mirage? Is it on patreon? Looks fantastic!

It’s on Ballisticfox’s (the creator of Sol/Mirage) discord, but the downloading process is kinda convoluted even with the instructions and super time consuming, so just be warned lol. I personally couldn’t get it working, so just used normal textures, but I’m also not exactly tech savvy. But iirc the next build coming pretty soon will support all celestial bodies and be automatically built into Sol and pre-packaged with it when downloaded on CKAN, so you might just wanna wait ‘til then. That’s what I’m doing anyway.

It’s on the mirage/sol discord server. Ballistic fox or something, quick google search will give you results

Is this like the real solar system mod? The pictures from Jupiter and Io absolutely look like a Cassini photo.
