Like I said, “The same applies for FM2022”.

No, it's the same ball config, just different colours.

This ball thing still seems to confuse some. If you go to the page 1 header of this mod, it tells you exactly where to install the ball pack. The same applies for FM2022. If you wish to use my Winter ball, you first need to save the ball image to your desktop, making sure it's named "epl.png". Then follow the instructions I've included in the "EPL Winter Ball" text file. The reason for the instruction is that the game no longer changes the modified balls to Winter automatically, so in the instruction I have shown the quick and easy way that I do it.

Although not strictly a Flutskin comment, I do recommend using these modified pitch textures, posted over on FM Scout. Along with the awesome Flutskin, they do make the 3D match day experience more complete.

All good now thanks my friend. It's a neat mod ! Now back to the game. The best way to spend a Sunday afternoon !

Hi Flut, thank you for the compliment but you fully deserve the praise, encouragement and donations. Now, although your skin is almost perfect I do make some small changes with each skin i.e. my own custom “league stage panel views” layout, clock font and having to tweak 2D shirt names and numbers. My question is, with this latest small update can I just load the panel/config changes to the previous skin and if so what are the relevant files ? Cheers !

Exactly right. I've highlighted in the past for people to look at the file size to appreciate just how much content there is in a Flutskin.

You're not doing anything wrong, it seems the link is broken.

Despite FM22 still being in beta, we have a Flutskin that is all but the final version we had in FM21. This amazing skin has no equals. There are quite a few skins already available for FM22 but none come close. As I've said many times, they are simply pimped up versions of the default skin. The Flutskin is the only true custom built skin available. This adds to a far greater immersion within the game. He has spent many hours building his skins and that brings me to my next point. We all like a freebie for sure but I think that talent and hard work deserves to be rewarded, so I'm appealing to those who haven't made a contribution so far. Flut never asks for renumeration, unlike another skinner out there who demands £2.50 if you wish to access the "pro" version of his fairly average skin. For the Flutskin, the option is there to contribute via his PayPal account. So, come on guys, recognise what you've got with the unique Flutskin and donate whatever you feel is reasonable. It's not just about the quality of the skin but Flut himself is a great guy who has answered all my questions and queries. So, you not only have a unique skin but the essential backup, should you need it. 

That's true but if you've decided to start your career with the Beta, you'll have to start again when the full game is released. With the IGE, the kit issue can be resolved on the fly and you keep your saved game.

It's a known issue when teams have multiple kits that are dedicated to specific competitions. You will likely have to wait until the full game is launched when the editor will be available. I found the easiest way is to purchase the IGE on full game release, go to the kit edit function and remove all competition specific kits, apart from one and name that "0". That kit will then show in all competitions.

Brilliant work flut. I'll be writing again soon and in depth !

Is your Sports Interactive folder being recognised ? Check in preferences that your graphics folder location is correct.

Hi Greg, you shouldn't be having many issues with FM2022. The facepacks, logos, kits, and balls work fine for me. I haven't tried adboards or backgrounds yet but that's because we need a skin that allows backgrounds to show and a backlight adjustment. The setup is the same as FM21. Mine are in the "graphics/pictures folder. Try that setup.

Hi flut, that's fantastic news !  At the moment, playing with the default or the few pimped skins currently available is mind-numbingly dull with no immersion.

Decent early alternative skin but sidebar needs sorting as text/icons are unreadable if a team has a light colour. 

You end up in a queue at number 13,000 or similar !!

I knew there would be no need to request it, bolid. Thank you, awesome work, as always !

Great work Derek. Updated Crystal Palace away and third ?

Superb work as always, my friend !

The kit legend that is Bolid. Superb work !

What are you saying ?

Due to the limitations of FM graphics, gradations and shading are not visible on match balls, so I prefer to use solid colours to improve sharpness and clarity. These are my takes on the epl and efl balls

I admit I've not been particularly active recently. This was due to personal issues. Also, I work better alone and a few ‘imitators’ have been submitting their work, some of which is pretty good. Creators are perfectly entitled to do that, after understanding the process. I will be making revisiions, ASAP. You can then decide which is best for you. Cheers !

There's feedback and there's feedback !  If you feel you can do a better job within the limitations of FM, then go ahead. Otherwise, if you only wish to make negative comments, then best you say nothing at all.

It seems there is some confusion regarding this audio commentary pack. It is NOT the commentary pack that I was involved with, so you can disregard the fact my name is mentioned in the heading. This pack is totally different with a commentary taken from PES or FIFA I'm guessing and with respect it's not great. There is too much going on and it's somewhat disconnected from the match action. For example, with the previous patch I was involved with and modified, it would recognise when a player scores more than one goal and also credit a player if they scored a hat-trick, this pack doesn't do that. It's a brave effort but clearly needs a lot of work.

OK, one for the master.

Have tried it with sidebar “icons only” in preferences, which is always recommended and stated clearly in comments regarding the Flutskin ?
