Already did that a while ago... and note that it was filmed in one go which is bit complicated as you need to go back to driving 1st stage before it falls down.. :D

Very impressive, note that you 7-800 m/s by letting the first stage continue eastward instead of boosting back at once after separation however I did not think this was doable.

I also made an reusable launcher in 0.19 however I had to select who part to control. two boosters who was dropped before gravity turn, main stage who landed on the continent to the east and an upper stage who returned to spaceport so it was more like an reusable falcon heavy. As I used novapunch 5 meter tanks and engines this could carry a lot of cargo.

I wonder if the guy that does the 'KerbX' mod wil eventually incorporate integral landing legs into his designs. I tried doing this with it and unfortunately the 2nd stage legs keep burning up on re-entry (using DRE).

EDIT: Do they also plan on doing this for the booster stages on the Falcon 9 heavy?
