That's because you play with Tottenham and you have specific ad-boards for your own club. You play against a club in a foreign competition which doesn't have it's own ad-boards. So then FM will show the competition ad-boards.

I don't think he's changed that much in the 6 months since the cut-out was produced, but if a better cut comes along, I'll add it

If you have more cuts, can you please post them here?

Will do!

I'm afraid that's not better than the existing cut-out, particularly in terms of the hair details...

The current picture in the pack doesn't really look like him anymore. Everytime I see that picture I can't believe that's Frenkie.
Ofcourse I can fix the details for the new picture. Will do that soon.

Yep...everything definitely in the right location

My Docs > FM19 > ads > fm.xml (club adboards)
My Docs > FM19 > graphics > pictures > ads (etc...)

and then the video ads in their right location under steamapps etc...

It's got me stumped.

Download the 1.4.1 file. You find it in this topic a few pages back.

I solved my problem! I finally have the static club banners and the video ads working on my MacBook with Medium graphics settings.
What I have done is to leave only one video ads folder in place. By default you have both the HD and SD folder in simatchviewer_uncompressed/videos

It seems FM can't decide which folder to use when you use Medium graphics. I simply renamed the HD folder to SD and removed the original SD folder. Now, the game recognizes the video ads from the HD folder and shows them with Medium graphics and because it's the only folder in simatchviewer_uncompressed/videos it also shows the club banners.

So far so good. FINALLY!

Yes, they've always worked, never had an issue with them. I use competition ads though, not clubs.

So you use the No Club fm.xml file?

YES! This works! And finally I see the custom adboards in FM19!!
The only thing I don't see are the static banners at the top of the grand stands. They remain black. Any idea?

Going to test it right a way on my iMac! Indeed, my folder didn't had the bidstack_enabled.xml so I copied the FM 18 version to this folder.
For other Mac users, the folder you need is: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2019/Preferences/version 3

Current workaround is;

• Set everything to "FALSE" in this file: Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Users⁩ ▸ ⁨name ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨Sports Interactive⁩ ▸ ⁨Football Manager 2019⁩ ▸ ⁨Preferences⁩ ▸ ⁨version 3⁩ ▸ ⁨channels⁩ ▸ ⁨BIDSTACK_CHANNEL.xml
• Put the game in "offline mode" via Steam,
• Turn the WiFi off on your laptop
• Then launch FM19.

Bidstack ads disappear.

Turning off WiFi isn't an option because I can't browse the internet during the game. And I like to multitask.
I think I would have to accept the bidstack ads until there is a proper solution.

I agree with you and we already pay for game it must be illegal to show us advertisements in the game without our permission. We can see it on cinemas too. We pay for watch the movie but we have to watch advertisements for 15 minutes before the movie (in Turkey maybe other countries dont have that). I hate that.

Here is a video how can you block a program to access internet in Mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFO_D9ltUOk

Blocking FM 2019 via the firewall on my Mac doesn't help unfortunately. It did for a couple of games but after a while the Bidstack ads came back. I also got the Cherny Samba book ads..

I can't get the adboard pack working in FM 2019. I installed it exactly the same way I did in FM 2018. But in FM 2019 the game still shows the standard video-ads.
The static banners in the tophalf of the stadium are black now.. but the new adboards won't show.

Don't understand this..

Think I've resolved this, but time will tell: change all entries in the "BIDSTACK_CHANNEL" file which read "true" to "false". No Bidstack for 2 matches now.

Folder is located in Appdata/Local/Sports Interactive/Football MAnager 2019/Preferences/version 3/channels.

Doesn't work unfortunately. Applied the 'fix' but still seeing the Bidstack video ads.

These balls will be installed only on FM 19. I just moved the shields from the old version

I meant the in-game screenshots from you match. I see real adboards there so I was curious if they were screenshots from FM 2019 or 2018.
Because I can't get the adboard packs working in FM 2019 because all of them were specific for 2018.

Are these FM 2019 screenshots? Were did you get those adboards from? Or is this FM 2018?

I have only just got FM19 and I am in the process of adjusting some static ads in the stands to fit in with the new stadium models, I have yet to see any of the ads above mentioned but will keep an eye out for them

Will you create a separate Adboard Patch thread in the Football Manager 2019 graphics section, as soon as you have something ready?

I applied the Real Name Fix as usual and it works great. I would like to know if it's possible to edit the abbreviation in the progress screen. Champions League is still abbreviated with ECC. I would like to change this to UCL (UEFA Champions League)

Is this perhaps possible? If so, how?

My ad board plans for FM19: I'm working on big 5 leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France) and Champions League , Europa League video adboards. I also working on Turkish Super Lig all teams video adboards. UEFA National League , UEFA Euro 2020 video adboards also in my future plan.

For now FM18 package working well with FM19 beta releases.

These adboards also work in FM19? Same routine for installing them?

In the FM 19 Beta there is a small gap between the panel and the image. Is this something that can be resolved?
