Alright, it's here: SpaceX's awesome tri-core partially reusable orbital rocket, the Falcon Heavy!

In all seriousness, this thing was a PAIN to construct. I'm glad it worked, though, and it does in fact work. I will say: it's not automated, the centre core burns at the same throttle the whole way through, and the legs do somewhat clip into each other.

This is actually the first rocket I've made that is designed specifically to carry your payload, there's nothing in the fairing.

Action groups are the same as on the Falcon 9. Oh, and disconnect the boosters at about 35% fuel for best results, 15-20% for the centre core.

Anyway, groups:
AG1: Strut retract
AG2: Grid fin deploy
AG3: Activate grid fins
AG4: Centre engine(s)
AG5: Outer 2 engines
AG6: Outer 6 engines
AG8: Landing Legs
AG0: RCS
