Aircraft approach pattern looks more like a 8 instead of a 0

Description

I think approaching behaves somehow odd compared to version 2.10.0.0 of MechJeb. As far as I recall the airplanes turned 180° and then the airplanes flew parallel to the runway intercepting the 1st waypoint of runway 09. Then it turned heading toward the runway. Overall the flown route looked somehow like a 0. Now, it seems that the waypoint is located somewhere in a straight line of the runway and the route looks like a 8. Compared to the airport at my hometown I would expect a 0 but I don't know if the 8 is intended. As usuall I captured a video. https://youtu.be/r9hsG_9pvps

In real-world it should be a 0-shaped pattern (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern). In Mechjeb the aircraft is indeed flying towards a point that is on the extended centerline of the runway. The result is what you described as 8. Feel free to open a new issue for that.
