There probably is a bug in the LaunchMFD:

Assume the following situation: Start the scenery "DG-S ready for takeoff" and set up the LaunchMFD for the target ISS.

The LaunchMFD indicates two requires headings, one in the northern direction, another one in the southern direction. The ISS moves in a southern direction, but the LaunchMFD decides do steer in the northern direction.

A time warp shows, that the LaunchMFD always makes a wrong decision concerning the required heading, as the target's groundtrace is west of the DG-S. If The target's groundtrace ist east of the DG-S, the decision is correct.

the launch MFD launches to aling your plane, not go in the same direction, although the two are similar

if you use the MAP MFD, press DSP, MOD the OK to change the track lines to orbital plane, you should launch just as the plane passes over your location

you should get northern = about 42 and southern = about 136, otherwise try reinstalling the MFD

LaunchMFD gives the correct launch heading until the launch window ends. When the 'Launch in' value reaches 0, it will automatically go to the next heading as he shows the new launch window

That's wrong. To start in the wrong direction leads to a RInc of 90°.

Where can I see the 'Launch in' value? Or do You mean 'Time to Intersection?
