Hi there, I just downloaded the Sportplan animator?

Hi there, I just downloaded the Sportplan animator Footypro and was wondering if there is any way of getting more colours of the 'overhead player icons' as there are only five colours to choose from whereas there is seven colours of the circles with the arrows inside? Does anyone know a way to add more overhead player icons in say orange and black?

Cheers

Justin

Hi Justin,

I've just spoken to our developers and they've informed me that they will add the new overhead icons into the next scheduled update which will be available for download early next week.

All the best,

The Sportplan Team

PS. Just for reference the current version was last updated on the 03/03/2011 and is version 3.0.43 so check back next week to see when the latest version is available to download on the Football Animator Page.
