For many years I have wanted to make a large pack using the many backgrounds by myself and others.
Well here it is, got to be a must for every FM fan a super pack full of quality images to enhance your gaming experience.
All have the correct xml/config files to work correctly and I have fully tested the whole pack with no problems.
Certain backgrounds will show on certain screens....
City pack images will show on all Cub screens.
Stadiums will show on all Team screens, etc.
What's in the pack?
COMPETITIONS
CLUB STADIUMS
CITY PACK
MINI STADIUM PACK (fmc/fmt)
CONFEDERATIONS
STADIUMS (overview)
NATIONAL STADIUMS
NATIONAL FLAGS
PLAYER BACKGROUNDS
Thousands of backgrounds all in one very impressive pack.
Files have all been converted to jpg to reduce the size but for the amount you get here it was always going to be large.
PACK SIZE: 8,52 GB (Red Button)

Apologies for this....I cant believe the pack has been out for all this time and someone has only just picked up on this, none of my testers either.
I will take a look and update the Scottish part then release as an update when sorted but you are wrong about Aberdeen their id is 1536 which is in the pack
I will though prob update some of the pics as they are the older ones from a friends pack.

Did I not add the pic of the new stadium?
The game starts with the old one thats why that is present but I have includede a pic of new stadium in the Stadium Overview folder, so when they move (in game time) the stadium will change as its a different id number.....as for the team pic its easy enough to just replace the pic your self for now, just name any pic of stadium you want to the id number of Lyon and place in the France/stadiums folder
Well thats the correct place m8 try adding your new pics as png files instead of jpg files, makes a difference and also make sure they are not jpeg files as they dont work (sometimes)
I take it you added any new pics (that were not already in the pack) to the config file
Also if you would like to send me any changes,I could add to the pack as future updates.
There are plenty of skins around, the default is just basic and....well boring to be honest.
As it is Flut and Myself who made the pack we would recommend FLUT SKIN (dark) of course, as it is the skin the pack was built around.

At last a thank you and not a "I cant" or "it dont".....thanks Vince glad you like it, it was a huge amount of work.
In game settings make sure you untick "use caching to decrease page loading times"
Thats it.
If it does not work for you ..You have clearly done something wrong as thousands of people have downloaded and used without problems and its also been tested for months

Could it be because I've moved my doc\Sports Interactive folder to my D drive? Although my game does recognise facepacks etc.
