Does anyone know how to perform a Manned Venus Flyby using Orbiter and the AMSO addon? I saw it in a video on youtube and I was wondering how its done. THANKS!

They've most likely set this up using TransX or IMFD, so I'd suggest learning whichever of those speaks to you better to get started with deep-space flying. More important than which tool you use is finding a launch window.

I suggest you try learning with the DG or Shuttle-A before attempting this. The S-IVb just barely has enough of a DV budget to perform the venus-free return trajectory shown here. After that you can use the SPS and LEM motors for course corrections and braking into the correct earth re-entry paramters. Margins are still tight all around.
