Anyone here flew DanSteph's Delta Glider Mk4 or Altea ships in Orbiter? Ascent prof. similar!

To those struggling with making new ascent profiles for their spaceplanes, I realized why I found it easy to reach LKO with any decent spaceplane I create--it's because I used to fly these spaceplanes in Orbiter Space Flight Simulator...

DanSteph's DeltaGlider

The reason I mention this is, well, Harvester and some of the devs are in fact, Orbiter users, and I believe that perhaps he and the devs patterned the new aerodynamics and ceilings for air-breathing or RAMjet characteristics on these Orbiter craft. Like it served as a template. Granted, Kerbin's atmosphere is different or "scaled down" compared to Earth's but the "feel" of the ascent is mimicked quite well. But I need a second opinion.

Anyone else here have experience with these Orbiter craft? I wish to know your opinion if the new KSP aerodynamics let the aircraft/spaceplanes behave similarly to the Orbiter spaceplanes, specifically the XR series and the DeltaGlider Mark IV.
