More runways

[dazhat]

As the title says, I would like more runways:

1. A runway with a gentle curve at the end to assist with take off.

2. A runway which points North/South.

3. A magnetic launch rail. See the bottom of this page: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/surfaceorbit.php

I'd just like more runways & airports scattered around Kerbin, mostly to provide a place for SSTOs and shuttles to safety touch down outside of KSC/island runway. The don't have to be terribly complex (some elements like hangars can be repeated) and the runways can be in various directions other than 9/27.

I'd like this also, it'd be cool to be able to explore Kerbin by plane and find places to land, and also cool if you were refuelled when you stop on a runway

I think that more features in general would be desirable. Longer runways, runways in different orientations, and runways in different places around the globe would be great!

Refuelling on runways would be brilliant! Presumably not too hard to code as well.

I'd love to see a huge dry lakebed laid out with runways in the desert. As long as we have plane parts, we need a flight test center like Edwards, with plenty of room to find a flat area to set down.

That would be really cool; and it could be located in the desert west of the KSC's continent!

What about a Kerbtown mod that adds a couple of runways across Kerbin, and can be launched from? Nothke proved it was possible with the Kerbib City mod.

yep, more runways around kerbin please. there is not much surface on kerbin which is flat enough to land sensitive planes.

As an extra idea, how about some runways contain refuelling facilities, and some don't?

The runways that have a fuel storage building on site will refuel your craft automatically. Others can be just a runway and a couple of landing pads. You must have a vehicle landed at one of the pads in order to transfer fuel to other vehicles (such as, a vehicle on the runway, or on the other pad).

I love the idea of the gentle slope at the end, I have loads of spaceplanes that fly really well, but due to their centre of lift they don't want to take off without going off of the edge

I would like more runway options, but you need to buy them, something like a launch rail would need to be researched before a buy option becomes available.

I would also like more tracking stations aswell as relief landing grounds.
