Rename the Runways and starting positions on either end


Recommended Posts

In aviation, runways are labelled after their heading, rounded to the nearest 10 degrees and the last digit omitted.
Since the runways in KSP are pointing East/West, they should be labelled 09 L / 27 R and 09 R / 27 L respectively.
Also, it would be nice if you could choose to launch at either end. I understand that you usually want to start east as it is more efficient,
but there are enough players who build airplanes that are not capable of going to orbit and might find this feature useful. (Plus, it is more realistic...)

Berlin Tempelhof is an example of a real-life airport with the same runway configuration. Granted, it is closed permanently but you can still see the runway designators on google maps:
