Sorry for waiting. Here is the mission itself
Liftoff
Its heavy you can say by velocity
Main engine cut-off
Escapeing the atmosphere
Second stage cut-off
Lost some speed
Needed some more fuel from payload
And finally in the LEO!
Peyload relese
Thank you for your patience and understanding ☺️
Hope you like it. (Updated second and third stage)

Redesign the rocket so that the 1000t payload doesn't have to be used at all before you get to orbit, then it will be legitimate. 
Tip: I think you were going up from the launchpad too slow, wasting fuel on combating gravity.
Try to reach over 100m/s by the time you reach 1300m high. If you go faster and turn more, maybe you won't need as much fuel to get to orbit.

You mean better by redesigning it. It's not about perfect flight, it's underpowered and you've burned a large amount of your fuel (15% of the first stage) before it's even cleared the tower. If that is a one kiloton fuel block and you've had to eat into it to get into orbit, then a good flight isn't going to save you that 150t+. Only a re-design will do that.
It's not a bad rocket as a rocket doing rocket things. But it's not capable yet of putting 1000t into LEO, so isn't a kiloton lifter. That's not anyone having a go or being a dick, it's an objective standard.
Ha, I wish I was that fast, that high. I barely break the sound barrier by 10,000metres.

Still, your payload is 85% full, you're short by 150 tons. It's not negligible. Mooncrasher's advice is good. If you bend your trajectory sooner, you'll increase your horizontal speed earlier, and you can save significant fuel that way. Don't worry too much about drag, it decreases quite fast with altitude (the air pressure halves every 2200 meters), so it's quite low above 10 km, and it's negligible above 20-25 km. Trying to reach the 30 km mark before building your horizontal speed is a mistake, you waste a lot of fuel that way.

Hehe.... Am I kiloton lifter now??

Oh i lost one Titan engine on 2nd stage due to stagin process (aero)
And other two managed to fly it until to orbit...
Is it passed???

I would hazard a guess the core first stage burnt out before the side boosters did. This is also dead mass you're dragging around. Or sack the separator between them and have all those engines access to all the side booster fuel.
That'd mean you wouldn't have to light the pod frontiers after the core burnt out as you'd run out of thrust at that point
