UK Rework

[mpdmotorcop1]

If you ever do a UK rework would you consider adding canals and aqueducts. Then add the mighty narrowboat "Aslan" moored just off a highway bridge (M6 perhaps) or crossing an aqueduct with Kevin Shelley at the helm. Thanks!

Seeing how stretched out cities can be in newer maps such as Iberia, rebuilt Austria, as well as Hanover in its current form, it certainly would be nice if they could do that for the UK, though I wonder if some existing cities would need to be absorbed by other cities to make room. They removed San Raphael as a named location for the ongoing California rebuild in ATS, and it became part of Oakland.

If SCS is waiting long enough before they rebuild the UK, they might want to keep a close eye on developments of the Lower Thames Crossing east of the QEII bridge. This may or may not be able to fit into the scale, especially once you consider what else SCS may want to add/change in London and the South East of England. However, this seems like it could affect traffic between Northern England/Scotland and the European Mainland.

Here is a link for more information:

P.S: It's still in the planning stage (and not expected to start construction until next year). Therefore, there's still a chance that this doesn't become realized (mainly due to environmental reasons).

Lower Thames Crossing I'd say is pretty unlikely even if it exists by the time SCS remakes UK simply cuz of how much space it occupies. Also, as a previous precedent, due to scale (which will probably be changed from 1:15 to 1:19 with said remake) SCS has as far as I'm aware avoided having multiple close by highways or highway rings, in such cases resorting to just featuring one highway/highway ring that may or may not be an amalgamation of multiple highways (as is the case in Madrid).

Seeing how stretched out cities can be in newer maps such as Iberia, rebuilt Austria, as well as Hanover in its current form, it certainly would be nice if they could do that for the UK, though I wonder if some existing cities would need to be absorbed by other cities to make room. They removed San Raphael as a named location for the ongoing California rebuild in ATS, and it became part of Oakland.

That would be heavily dependent on real life city layout, or even what SCS would like to do in the area. Innsbruck for example is barely larger than it used to be, and it's not like it's suffering because of it. Removing cities to make others larger is never gonna happen because unlike with ATS where a minority of cities have garages, the opposite is true with ETS2, and all marked cities in the UK has one which will make things tricky with save files. That is, unless they somehow manage to "move" cities by renaming/redefining one city so that it becomes another city placed somewhere else, like for example renaming and moving Sheffield so that it potentially becomes Norwich or Inverness, but I don't know how likely it is or even if it's possible in the first place, so for now it's prob best to assume that we keep the cities we already have in ETS2, perhaps with some extra cities added for good measure.

Lets discuss a lil of that UK here.

I wonder if this should be called UK rework discussion. But I am very hyped regardless. Even though I am a predominantly ATS player. If the UK rework is good I can see myself literally playing in just the UK for a hundred hours

^I will change to UK rework as soon as we will get anouncment

Prepare to change speeds with the left hand.

Extremely excited for the UK Rework.

I remember driving up the East side of the country listening to Grand Funk Railroad's 'I'm Your Captain' 10 years ago, it was a lot of fun, but as years passed, the UK became a must-avoid area for me because of the bar being raised so high with every DLC release.

Also have quite a bit of ancestral ties to the UK, particularly Hampshire County, Essex County, and Southampton; several of my ancestors lived in these areas until they moved away and sailed to the US in the 1630s. English is my second predominant ancestral group behind Icelandic/Norwegian. So I can connect to the UK very well especially since English is my first language and always has been (obviously living in the US will do that lol).

This'll be interesting... I would love to see a UK rework come in.
I know what will come with... lots of British cars. I've outlined plenty of 'em and I plan to make a UK-centric proposal to new AI cars later.

And we know London will be a huge challenge.
