how many kilograms/tons for this rocket at 1:1 earth before its no longer goes to LEO anymore?

I wonder if the mods see this :confused:

oh and you need to activate the middle engine by clicking rounded square 1 and 2, then click the first stage engine, add another one, this time click on side separators

hmm, im still waiting.
If you can't handle waiting, then perhaps you should go find a Discord server.
Wait times of several hours are typical in forums of all kinds, thats why it's best to prepare with all information in advance so they can answer straight away without asking for more info and wasting time.

For what it's worth this rocket has 6700 m/s of dV with a probe (needed to control the rocket).
Orbital velocity of real life Earth is 7800 m/s, so this would just be a sub-orbital rocket in 1:1 solar system, unless you mean in steam edition hard mode that buffs isp.

Ah yes,
So even that rocket is actually suborbital class.
Mann... Why did i see this only being an sub-orbital?

8200 m/s of dV in normal mode with a probe for control.
That's a lot, but due to gravity losses etc, a 1:1 earth in normal mode will require perhaps 12,000 m/s of dVo_O
I'm not sure of the exact figure.

However, it will easily reach orbit in IRIS, and possibly as well in steam edition hard mode.

Gravity loss is a big physics thing, that's like saying "if my rocket had infinite fuel it can easily reach another star".
