Smart Boy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I just started playing the game and I’m having trouble flying to orbit, any tips and instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It just so happens that I made a guide for this sort of thing. I haven't updated it for a long time but it should still be helpful. Also, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerodynamic Kerbal Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So, for beginners, you should lower the throttle a bit and turn 45° until apoapsis is over 70km. I recommend 80km the best. Then either make a maneuver node at apoapsis to get you in a circular orbit. Then from the SAS options, turn to the blue maneuver node marker, next to stability assist. Burn at half the burn time before the node. For example: You should burn for 40 seconds, so you should start your burn at T-20 seconds before you reach the node. Or you can burn prograde a little before apoapsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
