Yep, by using the HUD (tab key), wich display the heading and the altitude. You will still need some attempts to get things perfectly aligned, since even with a precise original orientation heading, a 2500m runway can vary a lot if you don't aim not perfectly in the right heading (even a centimeter too far create a visible difference at the end of the runway.

I use the satellite view in overlay mode to check if my heading was correct.

If you want to place accurately roads, the overlay is also the best method.

De nada  :)

Runways can be tricky because you can't really make them using the map overlay, so they require sometimes a bit of testing if you want good results :)
