That is a particularly big job because of the E40 connection into Belgium.

We decided not to do it at this time, because it would have delayed 2.51 by at least a month.
Instead, we prefer to merge the new Calais and combine it with a revised Eurotunnel terminal in the future (to bring Calais to the same standard as Folkestone)

Fair enough, hopefully with a improved road network as well, where the A16 doesn't suddenly stops at a roundabout but calais just have a proper exit.

Yes, that annoys us too, it needs to be fixed! :)

I just drove into Calais and was like WTF where's the SCS calais, but as usual, a good ProMods answer. Shame, but I understand! :D This way sounds better.

I hope all of E40 stays in however, best bit of the Belgian map in such a small area. Landmarks are well covered, services too.

personally, I'd have prefered to have the SCS Calais, much better than having Roscoff 2.0 Calais, first time through it since (having gone through SCS quite a bit on MP, it was very dissappointing to see they'd changed it to Roscoff, thought I'd gone to there

I still cannot get my head around that SCS did not include the A1 from Villeneuve d'' Ascq to the Paris suburbs until the echangeur with the A3 and BD Peripherique, a very important road. Driving towards Paris feels weird and odd coming from the Belgian E17 and the ring Lille needing to go to Reims. They had the A1 featured in ETS1. Would be extremely happy to see the A1 featured in the near future with promods, maybe you can include the Arras ''hill'' aswell as Aire de Wancourt Est / Ouest!

I agree with that! I think it's a very essential improvement to build the missing A16 section, so that you're able to enter the A16 coming from Eurotunnel and drive to Belgium and the Netherlands in one go, without driving through Calais. Is this road section already planned to be built? :)

Quick question, now that 2 new cities are coming to Vive le France, will Pau be removed and replaced with Lacq?

Regarding Lacq and Pau.
The western entrance to Pau in PM and eastern? or maybe the only entrance to Lacq in Vive le France addition, are the same interchanges and exhanges.
Placements will most likely be in different places on the map.
And Lacq depot is in ProMods France, but belonging to Pau.
Maybe we can someday get a redesigned Pau from PM?
