Bug #23516
Dessert Launchpad and Airfield doesn't have mass limit check
100%
Description
The Dessert Launchpad and Airfield doesn't have the mass limit check, while the Woomerang LaunchSite and Island Airfield (and obviously The Launchpad, and The Runway) have the checks.
Launching a 181t vessel with Level2_LaunchPad (Max. 140t) on all 3 launchsites log checks:
// the Launchpad [LOG 02:22:27.549] [Pre-Flight Check]: Checking for CraftWithinPartCountLimit: PASS! [LOG 02:22:27.555] [Pre-Flight Check]: Checking for CraftWithinSizeLimits: PASS!

Since a player upgrades only the Launchpad and the Runways, it is make sense that increasing limitation doesn't propagate to other unchangeable launchsites and airfields.
On the other hand, in the VAB/SPH we see these mass limitation in the craft engineering log, and nothing tell us, that the mass is limited only for the Launchpad and not for other launchsites.
So:
Easy fix: make all checks the same (enable mass check on dessert objects);
Complex fix: leave mass check only for the Launchpad and the Runway, and make changes to the GUI for telling user about unlimited mass for other launchsites.
Hard fix: make all runways and launchsites independently upgradable (add their icons to the main KerbalSpaceCenter window, new models per level, and so on)

Desserts have the same checks as others, but name of the specific launchsite (ex. Dessert Airfield) isn't showed in the message

instead used Launchpad/Runway for all launchsites.
