I think it is all the parts - sometimes if you wait for it all to load in performance can improve (a little).

Check you aren't using mechjeb and ASAS at the same time. Also check you don't have parts intersecting. Both can hammer framerate massively on rockets that should otherwise be fine

Just bought it for the $15, i have been stuck on .13 for ages and quite frankly ive been looking for an excuse to buy it 
Well KSP. 16 will be out within weeks.Just bought it for the $15, i have been stuck on .13 for ages and quite frankly ive been looking for an excuse to buy it
With more parts (More Power) an EVA's been the big addition this update.
Make a smaller more efficent craft, or overclock your CPU.
Its still in Alpha stage, so poorly optimized, unity3.5 is MultiThreaded not MultiCore yet.
Even I struggle with 500+ Parts with 5GHz i5 2500K.
Any one else having much luck with VTOL Craft?
Soldato
I've got a craft that can fly as a Vtol (with proper turning engines rather than separate vtol and horizontal engines) however it can't take off or land when vtol. Saying that, it can't land anyway....

Im getting better at designing jets now.
Basic jet engine works up to 7K ish using normal inlets
Turbo Jet engine works from 7-13K using the squarish inlets, for this design I swapped the normal air inlets for built in ones.
Im guessing the scramjet works at 13K+ altitudes however i need to go back and design a new style of jet for this

I swear I've never noticed the inlets making the slightest bit of a difference :s
Are you using the ones that are part of the body (naucelles?), or the ones that go on the front of the body (fan / ramjet)

using naucelles for normal jet then the front mounted ones for the turbo/aerospike
As far as I know, those inlet/nose-cones are just cosmedic.
There extra weight so I leave them out.
In future updates, when aerodynamics are better modeled, its hoped that airflow will be taken into consideration, with different engines have optimal operating range, which relies heavily on airflow.
So scramjets would operate best at 30+K...

depends what you want to do.
Lowest point of orbit = perigee
Highest point of orbit = apogee
If you want to raise the perigee of the orbit to the same as the apogee you need to, burn in a prograde at apogee. this will raise the perigee.
If you want to lower the apogee, you have to burn at retrograde (backwards) at perigee, this will lower the apogee.

Unless you mean inclination, which is pretty damn hard to fix. I believe inclination changes are the least efficient manoeuvres you can do.
