Are thery any mods/settings I can use to get better fps?

[BrownBoy09]

So, ive been laying ksp for years and I love it. However, recently I realized my laptop had cooling issues and now it cant run ksp, minecraft, overwatch, basically only cs. Ive improvised for most things but ksp just cant run. Sucks it was a waste of 1500 bucks but im working towards my new pc, but its gonna be a while to get til i can get the money i need for it. Anyways, I need to entertain myself for about a yearish, is there any mod or setting/file that can help me run the game? fps is only bad during flight, or in orbit etc etc, no lag in space center or vab. ty

Drop graphic settings.

Stop all background programs you can.

Drop ANY eye candy mods (EVE, Scatterer, Planet Shine)

Drop any hi-poly count part mods (It's NOT only the part count that slows down the system, it's those highly detailed parts that trash the FPS)

In main menu settings drop the max number of debris to about 32 or so.

CLEAN the laptop (If you know how [YouTube] open it up and clean the fans/heat sinks)

Add external cooling for the laptop.

Sounds like a part count issue...
Try increasing the maximum amount of time between frames to maximum to reduce your processor usage.
This is also in the main menu settings.

You should try to limit yourself to the lowest part count ships you can manage too.

Try improvising a cooling system for your laptop too.
Sometimes just lifting the base off the table is enough let cool air under all the hot hardware components.
If it gets really bad, turn on a fan blowing cold air at your laptop.

This was a brand new playthrough, no more then 50 parts on ships

You sure it's a graphics issue? Sounds more like a CPU thing to me.

GPU always is at 98-100%, cpu is only 80%

You want your GPU to be at 99%-100%, that's a good thing.
You should keep and eye on the the peak CPU stress. That's the one you don't want to get to the max.

Could also be a RAM issue 'cause it doesn't sound like the CPU is throttling the GPU.
