Because, as i said, it's in the games fmf file which is hardcoded into the game.

Gotcha! So if I download the logos again, swap the flag for the logo in the folder and rename the flag to correspond with the logo, that will then show the flag. Sounds good to me. Thanks a lot for your help.

You may well have deleted it which i would never recommend - if in doubt delete\disable the configs as they can be quickly fixed.

C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\Sports Interactive\football manager 2016\graphics\pictures\logos\metallic logos\nations

At the risk of sounding totally dopey, if I have deleted the logos, (which I have), how can the Gibraltar one still be showing?

Aah, so it's the default logo your talking about. Ok if you really, really want the flags to show there your gonna have to replace the logos with flags in the Normal_2 folder - just copy the gib and ned flags into the folder and rename them et voila. A pain but those two are hard coded in the fmf file for licensing reasons so a bit of manual labour is required to make them work.

Thanks for your help. Where exactly can I find the Normal_2 folder?

Cheers

Now I'm baffled! I have deleted all the nation logos and config files, (the big and the small). So, in theory, I now only have the flags for the nations. The problem is that the Gibraltar logo is STILL showing even after having deleted all the logos. I have tried different skins and clearing the cache but the logo is still there. By the way, as you can see in the screenshot, the small flag shows up fine. Any suggestions please?

You have to disable the config in the nations_2 folder iirc.


Thanks, I've tried that and it is still showing the logo. It seems that the config file in the flags, for some reason, is picking up the logo for Gibraltar. I will delete all the nation logos and that should fix it.

All of the Nation flags work perfectly and look great in game, except for Gibraltar. With Gibraltar the country logo is still showing. The XML file seems fine and, to my knowledge, this is the only one to have a problem, (not bad out of the thousands there are). Could it be a bug or does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Thanks

I can't download the latest changes to the logos pack. Since yesterday all I get is the following message:

We do not currently have any free mirrors for this file. There are two completely opposite reasons this happens:

Possibility 1) The file is very new, and a mirror is still being created, this hopefully shouldn't take more than 5 more minutes.

Possibility 2) The file is very old and you should seek out a newer version. Old files still exist on our servers so if you REALLY need to access it please get in contact with an administrator. Alternatively all archived files held on our server are available to premium members instantly.

No point using this on FM16, it's out of date. I am currently playing as FC United in the Vanarama National League North, which is still the Conference in these boards. I am also playing as New York City FC and there are no club adboards at all, except for Chicago Fire! Not very impressive unless you play in one of the big five leagues and even they are out of date.

Yet again, I am being told that I have never downloaded the player faces icon megapack before. I have downloaded nearly every one. To add insult to injury it wants me to download the full megapack, not just the icons before I can update the icons. Please sort this out.

Thanks

I have been a member for 4 years and have always downloaded the facepacks and logos megapacks from here. Yesterday, when I tried to download the changes pack for the faces I get this message:

"According to our files you have never downloaded this megapack before. Please download the latest version of the complete pack to start with".

Why am I getting this message? I have always had the megapack. I certainly don't want to download it all again when I already have it.

Thanks

I have been downloading this mega pack and it's updates for years now. I have just been to get the update from late October and am told that: "According to our files you have never downloaded this megapack before. Please download the latest version of the complete pack to start with"
Well, I have news for you, your records suck. There is no way I am downloading the whole pack just to get the update I need. There has never been a problem before so, why now?

I can't figure out why in the game I can't see the steklo X5 folder so I can't select it and in 2014 version I used the X4 skin and it worked without a problem.
Now in FM 15 i only see the default skin...

You have two options. One is to update to the latest patch 15.3.2, as you obviously haven't done this yet. Two is to buy the game as the usual reason for not updating patches is that the copy of the game you have is pirate.

Brilliant ads as always from the guys. My favourites have always been the club specific ads as they are much more realistic generally. League specific ads, and I include myself in this, have always seemed like the easy way out and tend not to be so numerous in the real world.

Would it be possible to make the adboards for the MLS clubs please?
If not possible, then a working config file for those clubs would be appreciated as I can make the boards myself. I believe, at present, the ID numbers for the MLS clubs are not being recognized, so the adboards won't show.

well said mons

Dolfin, I was only joking with the picture and it was a joking way of responding when you said you don't make 3D kits

it is disappointing that the pack you want is taking longer than expected but i suppose all I was saying is that there is no point getting angry or complaining about things you cannot control.

OK guys, points taken. I guess I should really just accept that there will always be people who let us down but, fortunately they are outnumbered by people like yourselves who at least take the time to answer us lonely old souls, and yes I did spot the humourous side to your post, I just read it at a bad time.
I will wait patiently for somebody trustworthy to make the kits.
All the best
Thanks

First of all, I am not a beggar. I have contributed to many facepacks, 2D kits and background packs over the years. I do not have a decent photoshop or other program to make the kits. Secondly, if you are trying to portary Orthodox as a "chooser", then please ask him to choose to make the kits. Remember, nobody else is making them because he says he is. That being the case he is letting everybody down. That relationship is more like the lunatic dictator to the people.

Why don't you make them rather than getting mardy that a voluntary kit makers missed an arbitrary deadline?
Because I can't make them and, if I could, they would be ready on time and when promised.

told by him...finish today! hopeful release tonight or weekend!

Guess he can't be trusted to tell us the truth then. Why can't people just stick to their word? By the time he makes these kits the 2015/16 ones will be released.

Well if that's the case we should forget doing any more leagues full stop?
Not at all. I just think it would have made more sense to do the SPL before doing the North West Counties league, or the Spanish third division, or the Sussex league. Not that they shouldn't be done, but there should be priorities as per their reputation in the world.

Anyway, what is done is great and keep up the good work!

You may as well forget the Scottish Premiership now. The kits will be out of date in a couple of months anyway.

Does the fact that the SPL has a line through it mean that it is done? If so can we have it please?

However, if set until the end of June, players will be on loan for the entire season, rather than a 3 or 6 month period, which is more unrealistic than them being at the start

This is true, but it is more realistic to have them at clubs until the end of June rather than they return on 2nd February. To be honest, I would start the game in Belarus, in February 2015. That way I am starting the game, more or less, as in real life. The problem, as I stated previously, is that all the loan players will now return to their clubs. If the loans end date was 30th June then the game is spot on. I agree that people starting a new game in July 2014 may want the players as they are now, but they will soon get to February 2015 and those players will go when they should be arriving. It's a difficult one but I would have put them on a season loan starting in July 2014 and ending in June 2015,

Keep up the good work

you cannot set the date of a loan to start in the future, hence loans are immediate and transfers happen on actual dates, only way to complete it.

I agree, but anyone playing the game realistically will start in July 2014, all the loan players from this window will be at their new clubs, then halfway through the season they will return to their parent clubs. You have set the end date for the loans to 2/2/15, you should have set it to the end of June 2015.

Have you actually read the post Mr Dolfin..lol..I thought the same at first.
Transfers happen on the date in real life they happened.
So Fletcher will move on Feb 2nd....he does have transfer icon on his name


Yes, but on the same day all the loanees will return to their clubs.

OK guys, points taken, but forgive me for being a little slow here.

In your database, the loan of Andy Kellett from Bolton to United is due to FINISH on 2/2/2015, not start. The same applies for Aaron Lennon to Everton. So they will be on loan for the first part of the season, not the second, which is unrealistic. Also, if I want realism, I will start the game in Belarus so I can start in January 2015. The problem then is that all the loan players will return to their clubs in one month.

If I have this wrong then I apologise upfront

Checked some more now. Darren Fletcher and Marnick Vermijl are both still at Manchester United and, believe it or not, Wilfried Bony is still at Swansea.
Please let us know what actually has been updated.
