Be cool if the M4/M5 Junction Almondsbury Interchange be updated some day. seeing what such great works you guys have done elsewhere not forgetting thanks to you we have a direct straight M4 unlike SCS standard one.

Almondsbury and Catthorpe stand out like a sore thumb, also M62/M1 (Lofthouse IRL) does too but as Leeds isn’t on the Map I don’t suppose it matters a great deal yet.

I think that whole M4 corridor needs redoing, all the way from the M25 to Swansea. Bristol and Newport need to be added as well as Port Talbot for the full M4 experience - it also needs to be super boring for added realism! ;) :D

Bristol should be possible, I think.
Newport? Is there really space for it?!
Port Talbot?

I don't know about the "is there space" given how close together some other places appear to be, though it would be nice to see Newport at least visibly represented if not playable. As for Port Talbot, the steelworks being visible is at least a start. I think asking the team to faithfully reproduce the roller-coaster section might be a bit much, though. ;-)

Would be nice to have the M4 pass over the M5 as it does IRL, but I suspect that may involve an awful lot of terrain work.

The whole junction needs to be re-done to be honest!

There are 2 Cloverleaf Junctions in the UK that I can think of, one is in Redditch and the other is in Livingston. I’ll happily stand corrected if there are more but this is not a common design in the UK.

Thats not all that rare. It’s fairly common that lane drops occur at Junctions on the British Network. Ironically one of the places this occurs is at Almondsbury where both the M4 and M5 have lane drops through the junction. Other places off the top of my head are the Tinsley Viaduct in the M1 J34, M1/M62 Lofthouse Interchange both have lane drops through the junction, M3/M25 Thorpe Interchange and quite a few more.

The thing that gets me on ETS is how Crudely SCS did. the drops but still retained the same carriageway width through the junction.
