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)

Nothing to do with these backgrounds though m8
If you want too,just send me PM rather than all this on here please
Also as I stated before I do not normally do the Cities, probably best contacting Flut if he has a separate thread for his Cities that is as he does not seem to respond on here.
I just found something weird in the brazilian leagues , the overall colour scheme of the bars in the club overview and default shirts all have the wrong colours , for ez Corinthians have yellow and Palmeiras have red instead of green , i have no idea if this is the place to post this to ? maybe its the skin im using ?
Thanks for the swift response like always man ! all is working fine now , i did spot something strange in cyprus too with Apoel having no city photo but i dont think it has to do with the config file this time , seems like Apoel just have no photo in the folder. Thanks for your time and work man.
Well spotted
It was a dodgy config in the Scottish Cities again (come on Flut!!)
Here is a replacement config file, put in the Scotland/cities folder and all is good.

Turkey and Ukraine all work fine now man , thanks for your swift response and the work on the new 3rd update , yesterday when i went in game to check again about the Ukraine and Turkish clubs etc i also noticed that Celtic , Rangers , Dundee and a couple of other scottish club are missing their City pic , i checked in the folder but i dont recognize Glasgow from the photos so i dont know if its a prob with the config file or maybe the photos are just missing.
I have just checked and the config is wrong in the Turkey cities folder this will be fixed in next update
The Ukraine works fine, the clubs that have a city photo work, the ones that dont show a city pic do not even have a city pic.....so will not show one obviously.
Its Mr Flut who sorts the cities out by the way not me so maybe we need to get more cities added to the pack at some point.
Hope that answers the questions
The small pictures were not entirely done by myself, only a small amount
I believe the lower leagues were already done, if you have the correct pictures then you can correct them yourself, you could also send them to me so indeed I can update the pack at some point.
As for the Comp backgrounds these had completely slipped my mind and will be updated when I get time,could you give me the id of the comp background you refer to so I can update it quicker.
A PM would probably be better than commenting on here m8
