Stock ksp system with realistic names and textures?

[randomks]

Hello, first post.

I have tried RSS and I love the visuals, but it is way to hard for me. I like the stock ksp physics and distances but just want to change how the planets look and the names into what they really are.

I have download texture replacer and the RSS texture packs but I am unable to locate where I would change the .cfg to link to the new image instead of the old. If that is even how you do it. I also have korpurnicus if that helps.

I even tried rescaling my own RSS but couldn't manage the orbits (I changed the radius and masses successfully.)

what i am asking for is maybe some pictures or a good walkthrough. i know texture replacer has one in the file but it is a little hard to understand for a noob.

Also not sure if posted in right place.

TLDR: want ksp to use real life textures but keep system the same.

well I figured out the texture replace. it is stupid easy. I just needed to do was put the .dds file from a rss texture repo into the "defaults" file in texture replacer, and rename.

You give the new file a name from the left and it changes whatever matches on the right. this is probably pretty obvious but I just couldn't get it.
