Playing Orbiter.. After Reading The Manual

So I got 20k views, and now Im compelled to make more of this. So I downloaded some recommended mods (Sound, Delta Glider, UMMU) and made a point of running through the pre-flight checklists before heading into orbit. My ascent into orbit is sub optimal I believe, I should have gone more vertical early on. \r

Of course the manual suggested I run some autopilot, but with this much excess delta-v I wanted to do it manually.
