Newbie questions/problems...

I played FOF2007 a fair bit, and was in a MP league for a while, but I didn't play FOF7 and am just trying to refamiliarise myself with FOF having purchased 8 on Steam.

I get that the game is slightly different to the previous versions, but there doesn't seem to be anything for me to actually do... Before I'd set up a gameplan but when I start a new game, "Simulation Window" is virtually the only button I can click on. Is there any sort of tutorial on how to approach this version as I'm pretty clueless...!

Also I'm having a few technical difficulties. Firstly the game windows are slightly too big for my monitor (using a PC, not a laptop) so I have move my taskbar in order to see the buttons at the bottom. Secondly, for my first exhibition game I decided to go into the game rather than just simming it. Soon regretted it as there was no way of exiting. Even when the game had finished I couldn't close the window, so had to shut down the entire programme and now when I try and load the file again it says the game file is corrupted.

Any tips/ideas/help? To say that it hasn't been a good start is an understatement!

Hi to any RDFLers out there btw, it's been a few years since I played FOF!

Also... is there a pack of the team artwork anywhere? In previous versions I copied & pasted all the images myself (i.e. for the franchise image when the player profile window opens) but if something already exists that would save a ton of time. Thanks!

Hi to you Sir.
Would be great if you come back home to the RDFL.

Thanks Templar, good to see you're still there!

I've struggled getting into this new one unfortunately - regarding my initial post, I have now worked out how to access different screens (was being an idiot) but the interface issues remain and haven't really got into the game planning side yet.
