How it plays

• Hold BURN. Stick pitches the stack. Atmosphere eats a straight-up stack at max-Q.
• STAGE the booster, then JETTISON the fairing. SAS damps tumble.
• Cross the orbit ring with enough horizontal speed. First to 3.

Hints

• Hold BURN to throttle. A straight-up stack shreds in the thick air. Pitch over as dynamic pressure peaks.
• STAGE drops the booster so the upper can light. SAS damps tumble. FAIRING comes off above the soup.
• Orbit is the dashed ring. You need horizontal speed, not just altitude. First to three insertions.

Tips

• Throttle down if the Q bar goes red. Pitch, do not punch.
• Stage dry. A heavy first stage will not circularize.
• Quick Match is you versus a bot that gravity-turns. Ranked is a duel on the same clock.
