Perhaps we can add St. Malo, but not until DLC France is out.

Especially this ferry thing, lot of people complaining about their exitence, others about the lack of some routes. But in my opinion it's better to have every exisiting line represented in the game. Then, if your playing style is more arcade-y, then you can always set a different route on the navigation. Nobody's forcing you to blindly follow the route that the game plans for you. (Actually the standard route planning of the game is awful 6/10 times) But let's not forget that many player likes to play in a much more realistic way. For us it would be terrible to remove anything from the map.
Sorry for the long bla-bla, I just had to write this down. :)
Couldn't agree more. Personally I think it's a shame the UK-Spain ferry connection isn't included. Hopefully as more of Spain is added in the future, it may be added as many UK/Spanish hauliers use this route in real life.

It is necessary to add an Ireland to Spain ferry connection (WHEN THE TIME COMES OFC), but I wouldn't loose any sleep if Spain to UK wasn't added.

A simple teaser from the M25 motorway: Looks like there is no traffic jam today ;)

No traffic? How unrealistic! Other then that, it looks so realistic, great work!
