How a major engine upgrade transforms the physics of Kerbal Space Program
In short: This video explores the technical overhaul of Kerbal Space Program as developers port the game to the Unity V engine. Discover how rebuilding core systems like wheel physics and the user interface aims to deliver significantly improved physics and frame rates.
The transition to the Unity V engine represents a fundamental shift for the game's architecture. To achieve these upgrades, developers had to replace significant portions of the existing codebase. This includes a complete reimplementation of the user interface into a more unified style and a ground-up rebuild of the wheel physics to ensure more accurate simulation.
