Can't get into Orbit

[Herbert McCheese-Wang]

When you turn after blastingoff from KSC what hight do you turn at, and at what angle?

[Vanamonde]

Begin your turn at around 10,000m and incline perhaps 30 degrees, then 60 degrees at 25,000, then 90 around 45,000. Those are just rough numbers, and other players will recommend different ones.

[Flixxbeatz]

for some clue.

Ok, that helps, I was perphaps turning too quickly at 30,000m. Thanks

Right. Waiting too long to start your gravity turn wastes fuel, and if you turn late and don't turn aggressively, leaves you overshooting your apoapsis or seriously undershooting orbital velocity.

It's a balancing act. Turn too aggressively too soon and you waste fuel fighting atmospheric drag. Play around with it and find what works best for you and your rocket designs.
