Kerbal Space Program
One of the first things you will do in Kerbal space program is making a rocket and then trying to send it to orbit, however, this task is hard for beginners so this aticle can be used as a guide to get your first ship in orbit!
Making a rocket
To get to orbit in KSP, you need at least 4650M/ of Delta V in your ship. An orbit around the home planet, Kerbin can only be sustained if the lowest point (Periapsis) is above 70,000 Meters above sea level.
First, lets assume you already have made a rocket capable of getting to orbit.
First, launch your craft and keep it going straight till it reaches about 1Km above sea level. Then, start pitching your craft to around 10°. And, NEVER pitch hard, or your rocket will end up upside down. Keep pitching down slowly. By the time you reach 15 Km above sea level, your rocket should be pointing at 45° on the Navball.
Keep doing this slowly. Press [M] to open the map screen. You will see your trajectory. Keep burning till your apoapsis gets above 70KM (tho i would recommend it getting your apoapsis to 80KM). Once your apoapsis has reached over the atmosphere, stop burning. Then, time warp to Apoapsis and then, point prograde (The direction kn which you are going. Start burning till your craft reachs arround 2250M/s around Kerbin. Once your Periapsis has gotten above the 70,000 Meters mark, you have achieved an orbit!
Congratulations on getting to orbit! Feel free to do an EVA (Spacewalk) and enjoy the view! Make sure to do some experiments to collect science if you are in Career or Science mode!
PS: get yo kerbs back home, launch better rockets, get more science get better at game
