An unexceptional rocket (takes a 333kg payload to low orbit) showcasing a general script for highly efficient launches. It handles staging, a smooth gravity turn, throttle control to reduce excessive drag losses, maintaining heading for minimum inclination, and circularization.
A handful of parameters allow it to be easily controlled to do exactly what the user wants, and will need to be fine tuned for different rockets to achieve peak efficiency; what they do and how to pick them is explained in the code.
This example rocket achieves a circular orbit of 85km using ~4.6km/s dV with this script.
