is it possible to choose to take off a plane from runway27?

[lammatt]

or if the game only allows taking off from runway09 ?

(see... sometimes i want to fly west, we all do, dont we)

I believe the kerbin city mod, (forget exact name) may allow that... Not entirely sure.

Sure. You just have to taxi down the runway manually turn around at the far end. In the stock game, I don't think there's anyway to start at that end at launch.

lol... may as well take off from 09 and u-turn in air.

Thats what I do. I just get airborne then do an immelman turn. It is a lot of fun with a big bomber.

Really I would love to have a second runway that is set 0-18. So I can taxi and take off north south if I want.

Indeed, in the stock game your only option is to manually taxi. You could build on a detachable tug with rover wheels if you don't want to waste jet fuel.

And an Immelman doesn't require TWR>1, because you do just convert your airspeed into altitude in the half-loop. A glider could do one.
