Landing pad locations switched??

Last night I had serious issues finding the landing pads. Now I've been out on a birthday and had a few single malts, but I really doubt this was the issue.
Did they change the locations of the landing pads? I remember being totally lost in the station, warnings all over and the transports turn like a cow.

Now, I would have blamed myself if this had happened only once. But it happened quite a few times and I feel utterly confused. What's up with this? Should I lay off the booze?

Actually I had the same thing. Was looking for landing pad 35, always know where it is, moved to dock got a trespass warning. Oh Crap...looked at my compass and it was opposite to where it should have been. I always come in the letterbox with green on my right so I know exaclty where the pads are. Oh...and it was mid week, so i was sober.

Originally pads 1 and 13 locations were incorrect - they were swapped around. The 1.1 update has fixed this so they are in the correct locations now.

The other pads should be in the same positions as they were before.

I use the compass but still have this (amended for the 1/13 switch)

Pad 1 is directly below the entrance when you enter with the green light on your right.

I made this chart just to give me an idea of how far in the pad is for speed adjustment or when smuggling. Pads position relative to slot orientation is/was not an issue for me, I just roll navigating by compass position

Note: apart from updating this for the 1/13 swap I have not had chance to check all the other positions but haven't seen any issues so far.
Let me know if you find any

From the update:
Landing pad numbers now consistently numbered front-to-back then clockwise in stations (in other words, bones 0 and 12 swapped over, so that pads 1 and 13 are now in their correct places). Also checked Outposts and fixed pad numbers there too, so that the medium pad is always the highest pad number

This may be a silly question, but why is it front to back and THEN clockwise, and not the other way around? Is that something that's been carried over from prior iterations of the Elite series?

They also replaced pad #40 with #25 (the location is the same, the designation switched).

Totally annoying. Before, there was a simple rule of thumb:
If the pad number is below 30 (with the exception of 16-19), green entrance lights on the right and you come in the correct side up.

Now it's all messed up.
