The annoyance is the current orientation of objects in .stg-files.
Defining 0 degrees in the south and turning anti-clockwise is not too
appropriate in aviation land. A different filename extension would
permit a smooth transition, thus introducing true heading and counting
clockwise for Scenery objects, without breaking backwards
compatibility.
Cheers,
