Mechjeb and Ascent Guidance

[Poofer]

Since the official thread is closed i'll ask here. 

Has anyone been able to make the launch into plane or launch to rendezvous work? I'm trying to launch to Minmus but it always launches in the wrong phase angle so i'd have to match planes once in orbit.

Launching to rendezvous also gives the wrong orbit.

 

Maybe i'm doing something wrong or is this a known issue? How can i workaround this?

After you put your craft on launch pad,first you have to go in map view and set minimus as target,then you click "launch into plane of target" in ascent guidance and then "engage autopilot".Then MJ will warp to appropriate time and autolaunch.

No it won't. That's why i'm asking if anyone else is having this problem and if anyone has been able to get past it. Launching into plane of target will launch immediately after you hit enable and launch to rendezvous does wait for something but the launch is all wrong too. in both cases the launch ends up with and AN/DN of 6/-6 relative to Minmus AND relative to the equator

i just end up launching, then doing a manoeuvre node to match planes with target, then Hoffman transfer to minmus.

Whenever I tried to launch to rendezvous its never worked for me on any version.

Before when on 1.0 I would infinity just sit there on the launch pad, the launch time comes and goes I cant stage or launch so even if i disabled autopilot for the second then launched then enabled autopilot it never rendezvous. 

I just glanced at the new updated mechjeb and its soo much more cluttered! more tickboxes, most of which seem to be labeled in another language /not understanding. Used the landing autopilot and some data for something displayed about 50 decimal places after making the window bigger than my screen. wtf. So just mostly using the easy stuff  no problem

Anyway I just use the normal ascent guidance I like to mess around with random stuff on the way up then do a match planes with target manoeuvre if I get to orbit.

Yeah, i might end up doing that. I just wanted to save those 250-270m/s dv. 

Might previous design had this dv in mind so it's a bit more costly and this was the " efficient-er" version

Well,here is the funny thing.
I was reading this and i wanted to check myself,because everything was working just fine earlier when i played the game.I started my game and guess what,i had the same problem,ascent guidance will immediately launch,but like i said,it was working fine 10 hours ago.So i tried different dev builds with no avail,then i downloaded dev #584,save it on desktop,changed the date on my computer to 30.4.2016,restarted my computer and fresh installed MJ.I started the game and everything has started to magically work again.When i changed date back to 5.5.2016,launch to plane is still working,but after launch MJ stays in 2X physical warp.
I can't tell for sure what's going on,but i hope everything will come to normal again.
