Scroll down in Notes and Credits for FAQ! Controls: W/S/click ends of throttle- throttle up/down X- Set throttle to zero Z- Floor it! Set throttle to maximum A/D pitch up/down B- Deploy speed brakes / wheel brakes R/Onscreen button- Toggle RCS (maneuvering thrusters) M to jettison the rocket T/Onscreen button- Toggle ACS (auto-stabilization) Spacebar/Onscreen button- Toggle engines between airbreathing (jet engine) and closedcycle (rocket engine) mode. V - Toggle vertical thrust mode. This isn't remotely realistic or anything, but it's fun. Note that the vertical engines are rockets, not jets, so you must be in rocket mode to active them, they'll need both fuel and oxidizer, and they will use it very fast. 2- Show/hide debugging variables. If you like, you can show and hide the control panel by clicking at the top of the screen. If hidden, it will reappear when moused over. It is recommended that you turn on ACS when the flight starts, or your plane's nose will tend to drop. If you want to achieve a very high angle of attack (such as during your rocket burn), you may want to turn on RCS for more control. The blue indicator on the gray navigation wheel shows you which direction your plane is pointing, relative to the green indicator, which shows the direction you're moving. If you get high enough and fast enough (the top ends of both the speed indicators and the altitude indicators, the VAC and ORB lights will illuminate, indicating that you are in space and orbiting the planet, respectively. Landing back on the runway and coming to a stop will resupply you with fuel and oxidizer. Didn't make it to orbit on the first try? You can always try again!

How to land from orbital reentry: 1. Slow down by doing the reverse maneuver which means you turn 180 degrees from a horizontal flight angle and use 20% throttle to slow you down using closed cycle in orbit. 2. before reentry go back to horizontal flight angle and nose up about 30 degrees. 3. during your burn in reentry nose up more untill you slow down enough. 4. turn off RCS and ACS after your burn. 5. nose down 40 degrees down untill you see the yellow altimeter is halfway down. 6. when you see the red altimeter pop up, nose up and down to speed up or slow down( you do this in the final approach and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR THROTTLE TO IDLE OR YOU PLANT YOURSELF TO THE GROUND!!!!) 7. just after you see the smoke trails, you nose up a little bit right before touchdown so that you slow down and also touchdown softly (BTW this process is called flair which is nose up to create soft touchdown) 8. once your rear gear touches down, bring your nose down and apply your speed break by holding b 9. Houston we have touchdown!!!! YAY
