Full shuttle launch. No need to touch controls besides stages while launching. Power up to full throttle when ready press1 to launch. Above 150,000ft detach side booster with 2. Continue above 250,000ft,make sure you are inverted and detach main tank with 3. Pitch away from the tank. Vtol full down select 4 to open doors then 5 to extend arm. Deselect 4 move vtol to center to retract arm, deselect 5 then re select 4 to close bay doors. Free fall until you gain control and find a landing spot to complete mission. Just whatever you do dont push 6! Do not use speed brakes unless you re-assign each nozzle in the engines to something other than vtol or number. But really not needed. Have fun let us know how you like it. Launch pad and rocket boosters built by @theonebeardarmy shuttle built by myself was another combined built like the b-2.

When i get to 500,000 i need to vtol and than enable main... is there an altitude where you are in pure orbit?
Yep @CALVIN232
@jdw6701why not?
Oops, before I read the description I pressed 6, ;D
@Monsterbash9000
Actually, I am going to do a launch platform-currently the cockpit have a wrong rotation and the horizon was not right, so I plan to flip the whole ship, then create a base that will rotate it by 90 degree for launch.
Basically a overhaul.
don't press 3
np @Monsterbash9000
that makes a lot of sense. I actually have some thoughts on improving this, but that is huge task and will probably not upload it soon.@Monsterbash9000
@lolzxd23 thank you it was a blast to build!
@CDRxavier , there seems to be a glitch in transition when downloading some of the big builds. maybe delete and download it again. The wobble seems to happen at lower elevation. I had to pull the shuttle from the rockets and reconnect the launchers. I see the problem with the speed brakes, the vtol motors are on the same control number#. Just de-select #1 and they wont move around on you. Speed brakes are controlled on vtol but you can change that if its more comfortable. Hope this helps and you enjoy!
Well that is something-I ditched half of the engines because if I go over 1000 mph the whole thing wobbles and shook itself apart, while a speed under 1,000 is ok. The simple planes physics is also awful when you are high up there.
Ummmmm........ @Monsterbash9000 , I think brake pads (air brake) is controlled by BREAKING, right?
So.....I mean, why do you channel it to the tightly-fit VTOL? I am curious....
thanks to the modded engine.
amazing...mobile friendly!
LOVE IT saw dreagasts vid

Very nice 👍
Thank you. @Orlan
Epic cool build
@Mcbutter I see the problem the new update must have glitches it. I made it to 300000+ just a few minutes ago. Just don't move the controls while you launch let the rocket do its thing and it won't blow up. You can try and take the shuttle off and re attach it but as long as you don't move the pitch control you should be fine. Thanks for the download
It doesn't work for me I can't get pass 15000 feet before I blow up
Very cool! This is a first placer right here!
