UK and Ireland suggestions

[Laarus]

Ok, my suggestions for the UK....

1) Hull needs to be added, the roads around the area are there and it's easy to build in....

2) As an extra to this, the M62 needs conversion to continue onto the A63 at the start of the Hull section.

3) Wales: The A55 across North Wales and onto Angelsey is an amazing route with sections East of Bangor where the Westbound carriageway cuts through tunnels while the Eastbound winds around the old road on the cliff edge. You could have so much fun adding this road to the ferry port at Holyhead, while also adding towns like Bangor and Colwyn Bay.

The Main West Coast road to Aberystwyth is the A487. It's a winding road that is more akin to a Scottish road than Wales and would make for some interesting runs. On the South Coast of Wales it would also allow an extension of the M4 Corridor out to Fishguard and Milford Haven, for another ferry crossing to Ireland.

4) Scotland : A few extra destinations in the north of Scotland could be really fun to add as well. I can see a good run out to Inverness and maybe Fort William and Oban on the Western Scottish Coast, to make a nice loop of destinations, very much off the ETS main routes.

Would it be possible to add the Isle of Man to the mod? I know it is a very small country with few roads, but it has good ferry links from Douglas to Belfast, Dublin and Liverpool.

EDIT: I just read the details of the Ireland update (I wonder why it didn't show up in my search?), and now I simply can't wait for its release

- M4/M5 junction is something we wanted to modify anyways.

Does that mean you're using my M4/M5 edit or not? ScuL asked my permission then i've heard nothing definitive since really?

Hi Reef,

I've looked at it but we've decided to sort it out ourselves, it shouldn't be too much work. I looked at yours but it had changed quite a few more sectors than necessary plus some minor trouble (floating signs and stuff)

Speed cameras need to be painted yellow on the back:



Also, the real M6 passes straight through central Birmingham, but in the game it is depicted as open countryside.

Similarly, the intersection between the M5 & M6 is very different in the game:

And the infamous Spaghetti Junction:

Hi Reef,

Fair enough if you do not wish to use it, i have no problem with that, i just wanted to know what was happening thats all..

I looked at yours but it had changed quite a few more sectors than necessary

FYI. it changed very necessary sectors unless of course you like the fact that a) the Brynglas tunnels are excluded from the base map and b) You like the tunnel on the M5 south of Birmingham!

plus some minor trouble (floating signs and stuff)

This part of your comment is really bugging me, would you care to explain further what you mean? I have no such issues with my mod and no-one else has reported any issues or "minor troubles" as you call them!
If you'd care to clarify what you mean i'd appreciate it, thanks.

Respect is a two way road, are you suggesting i stop and turn around?

Right I wasn't aware of this. It's hard to judge the impact of the work if it hasn't been clearly defined as to what has been altered, perhaps you are willing to supply an image which outlines the changes you have made?

No reason to get wound up as I didn't intend to cause any offence. I noticed some of the gantry signs at the junction were placed nearly 1 meter off the ground with the concrete footings sticking out. If you still have no clue what I am talking about I can re-apply the mod and take screenshots

What about the BBC Top Gear Test Track [probably will require licensing and copyright]? And what about adding Exeter, Truro, Tralee, Enniskillen, Sigo, Castlebar, Blackpool, Stornoway, Leeds, Bangor, Aberystwyth, and Bristol?

May I suggest the Dublin Port Tunnel it comes in from the M1(to Belfast) and out at Dublin Port.

Port tunnel will come I think...

TG track wont require licensing but I don't see the point adding it... Also we have only planned 2 uk cities so far: Derry and Belfast
