How to design/fly a lander with windows facing up/forward while burning surface retrograde?

[dlrk]

When I build a lander (ex. with the Mk2 Landercan), and burn surface retrograde for a landing burn, the windows are facing either "down" or "backwards". I can get them to face the right way by rolling 180, but then the pitch controls are reversed (and the navball shows the craft as inverted, of course). Is there a way to avoid this, so the windows are facing "forward"?

I think I understand your scenario.  If so, this should help.  If not, please provide a screenshot and I'll try again:

• Put a control point on top of the Mk2 Lander Can (such as a probe core or docking port)
• On the launch pad, control from your new control point
• Notice which direction the new control point thinks it is facing, compared to the direction the lander can is facing when you control from there
• Spin the new control point around in the VAB, if needed, so that it is facing in the desired direction compared to the lander can
• During your landing, control from the new control point instead of from the lander can

Slap a Mechjeb thing on the side and control from there, if that is the right way up then it will work as you intended. - found out by trial and error.
