Mechjeb and the Vector of Thrust

[Gooru]

I´ve got a shuttle-launcher where the Vector of Thrust is different to "nose direction"

Also when in space the VoT is different.

Is there a way to make MJ use the VoT for it´s calculations when autolaunching for example?

[Chaia]

You can attach a probe core with the same vector direction as the VoT and use it for autolaunching

[Gooru]

The VoT is changing during launch as it balances itself pointing from CoT to CoM and the CoM is moving while the i´m burning my fuel

Moved over to General Add-On Affairs.

As far as I know MJ assumes that the direction of thrust is the same as the controlling part's forward direction.

Exactly. And this is the Problem. I need the solution.

Chala already gave you the only solution - put an extra controllable part (docking port, probe core, or capsule) facing the direction of thrust, then right-click it and select "control from here". MechJeb will then happily work as expected.

Maybe "Throttle Controlled Avionics" is more useful in this case?
