I downloaded the launch MFD but I am having trouble to get it to work when I type the mir or trying to get the azimut to the moon. When I input the ISS there is no problem at all but I can't find any other azimut for any other object.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
 
Sounds like your launch location is too far North. You can only reach objects that have a larger azimuth than your launch location.

For example:

KSC (28 Degress N) to ISS (51.6 Degress) = Fine.
KSC (28 Degress N) to Mir (26.95)=Not possible.
Kourou (5 Degress N) to Mir (26.95) = Fine.

So, if you want to get to Mir from KSC you need to launch Due East then perform a plane change burn and lower your inclination to match that of Mir or use launch MFD and launch from a lower latitude location like Kourou.
