changedWe've been getting a few "how to" support inquiries on actually getting into orbit. Right now, if user doesn't interact with it, the rocket keeps climbing, stages the core, and continues upward. This is normal, since there is no automated guidance implemented (yet). The rocket engines can tilt in 2 axis, and this can steer the rocket. You can test this above 120 km by using keyboard arrow keys. Usually, during ascent, only "up" and "down" keys are used to adjust for the orbital "size", because orbital inclination has already been determined in the early launch stage, and the rocket is committed to it. We're working on a short documentation (and a video) on how to "fly" the rocket manually in order to achieve orbit. It is pretty easy to do using the Orbit MFD data. Once we have the guidance in place, all this will not be needed - the rocket will enter the orbit according to the orbital parameters specified before the launch. Stay tuned for the guide, we'll have it available in a few days! Mitch
