Being a complete NOOB here asking this, but how did you limit your speed limit and used your main engines "to go to the 'correct side' of the vessel?

SO I have upgrade to this version and I have noticed a big change in the ability to perform Rendezvous activities. What I mean is that the space craft becomes extremely unstable (on autopilot) as it nears the end of a burn. So as the velocity meter on the right of the nav ball nears the end (bottom) of the bar the blue maneuver node shown on the nav ball starts to go all over the place and my space craft then chases it and it starts to flip and turn. At first I though it was because I was top heavy in my design, but then I tested it with a rocket design that work perfectly two days prior to me upgrading. I am wonder if anyone has had the same issues and has an idea on how to fix. Thank You

So I updated to the new MechJeb (2.7.0) and I am seeing an issue with trying to conduct Rendezvous activities. The initial burn towards target, once on orbit, starts off fine but then as the velocity meter starts to near the bottom and I get closer to the target the maneuver node on the navball goes nuts and just bouncing all over the place causing my craft to do the same. As a result I am have to use more RCS to try and stablize but the problem is reoccuring each time. I have tried on several different ships and I am getting the same result. I am trying to use the mechjeb to have a manned capsule Rendezvous with my space station. Any ideas on the cause and a fix? Thank You

Thanks I have adjusted the errors

Please see the attached photo for an issue I am having setting a target to rendezvous with after launch. So i am trying to build a Space Station. I have sent the first module up and it is in a stable orbit around Kerbin. When I get prepared to launch the second module, I set the first module as a target and get the wierd looking lines. I understand them to be maneuver lines and Ap and Pe points. But now when I try to create my own manvuer node to start my rendezvous, I am unable to get to the right Altitude and intersection point. Also the program states that I have no target selected and can not use MechJeb for assistance. Any help would be great. Thanks! http://imgur.com/XNxR0Jj

file:///C:/Users/obrien979/Pictures/Picture1.png Please see the attached photo and provide information on why this happens when I set the craft as a target to rendezvous with. When this happens I am unable to plan any maneuvers to help my link up and dock with this target. Any help would be great!

Ok how do you use these modules?

Thank You all for your advice. I was able to get the MJ button to appear and I have full functionality of the MOD. Now on to learning how to use the tools, especially the first one Ascent Guidance!!

Is it possible to get MechJeb functionality while playing in Sandbox mode? I have installed the mod into the Game data folder that opens all MechJeb parts. But when I start my Sandbox game, the MJ icon doesnt appear and I have no MechJeb functionality. On a side note two other mods (Science Alert and Simple Orbit Calculator) are showing currently. Thank You in advance for any assistance. Brandon
