Hello,
I am very new here but like Atlantis in Orbiter 2016.
I watched tutorials and read articles but still after dozens of trials I overshoot the KSC a lot!
Making pitch 40 degres and rolls 90 but again too high and fast.
Help me please :)
Cheers
 
There's several times during the S-turns that you'll need to roll past 90 in order to manage your altitude. Or at least that's the way I fly reentry.
The shuttle is basically a flying brick, but it flies very well at hypersonic speeds.
 
This scenario seems to be too high IMO, but I can be wrong.
Problem is I can't hold pitch 40 deg al the time.
