Extract AutoSave.DLL to your Modules/Plugins folder and activate on the Modules Tab of the Orbiter Launch Pad. After you've loaded a simulation, AutoSave will automagically save the current Scenario as AutoSave.scn.
You can configure the amount of seconds between Saves in the AutoSave.cfg in the Orbiter base folder. A setting of 60 (default) in AutoSave.cfg would save your current mission every seconds. Set this to whatever you like. In my testing, even saving every second (setting of 1) caused no noticable lag in the game.
