MechJeb Ascent When Pod isn't Facing Up

[whiterafter]

Hi, I'm launching a cool ion plane to Duna (ontop of an OP rocket) and MechJeb had my rocket going insane and just.. crazy. What I've taken from that experience is I need to disable autoroll and that I need to fix the pod direction.

How can I make MechJeb (0.25) correct for a pod that is facing sideways (ie, a plane sitting ontop of a rocket, facing straight east).

Thanks

I'm not sure if there's a way to do it directly, but you can just stick another probe somewhere on the rocket that'll last until you reach orbit that's aligned correctly. It'll do until the ion plane can take over

Of course, you could always just fly the rocket manually and rely on the instruments/visual to do the launch It's not too hard

You would need to have something facing the way you want to go. Remember that you can use mechjeb itself as a "Control from here" point with the in flight right click menu.

Would it be possible to get a pic of the afflicted craft so we an see exactly whats going on?

I will just go with the second capsule idea.

It's literally a flying wing stuck ontop of a Saturn v
