I hope this happens. The UK is certainly not as bland as the original SCS map, and it sucks seeing as I immigrated from there and know what it's like

I miss Ireland... I would like to drive their roads - and actually the only garage in UK that I have is London... - and all cars have the steer in right side for that garage... (it's quite interesting to sit in opposite side.. also it's a bit hard (at least for me))
Mom says to son.
Hey son - can you go to the shop and buy the milk, if they have eggs - buy six.
Sure.
Son goes to the shop and buys six packs of milk and goes back home.
Why did you buy six packs of milk?
Because - they had eggs. And you told me to buy six - if they had eggs.

A while ago I made this rather packed-looking UK Concept Map, which points out a few cities I'd like to see included. I wonder what the general consensus on this is from the people of Britain?

Although it doesn't offend me personally, please avoid referring to Britain and Ireland collectively as 'The British Isles', it's like calling the USA 'British America' ;).

With the only difference that "The british isles" is geographically correct. :P

Well Kuba, Penquinaz has done Northern Island and is working on London. I am half collaborating with him on the UK. All the cities there are added, but there will be a few more also. I must say I picked the map editor pretty quickly :)

I don't disagree with any of the additions but there are a few things I miss:
  • Brighton, along with the A23/M23 north to London. Only problem is there might not be space for an M25 connection with the A3 between the M3 and M23, and I'd like to see the the A3 expanded north from Portsmouth too.
  • Wolverhampton, to be added as an extension to Birmingham when that gets rebuilt. That would help show how large that built up area is.
  • Nottingham, since it's the 9th largest Urban area in the UK
This is by no means exhaustive, just a few ideas I have.

I think it might also make sense to complete the A1 as well. There seems to be a break as it hits the M18, skips a huge bit between Doncaster and South Yorkshire, and doesn't reappear until the M1, causing you to have to go a bit off route to get up there. I would love to see it add some more country A roads as well since not everywhere is accessible by motorway so easily, even some distribution parks have cropped up in areas not next to it, though space constraints might limit them somewhat. I find the UK's scenary, and parts of Europe for that matter to be bland and devoid of rural villages and towns that would pose some obstacles and variety to the maps.

That said I would love to do a Woodhead pass drive or a coastal run from Hull down the A165.
