Greetings fellow space gamers,
I just discovered all the modding going on for FS and FS2 and decided to jump in.
I downloaded KNOSSUS.NET launcher, new clean install of FS2, followed the linking instructions and setup. I downloaded Blue Planet Complete 3.3.3, made a new pilot, and when I go to play it, and it spins up without any errors. Only problem is when I go to the 'Campaigns' in the Freespace home screen only FS2 shows - no new campaigns.
The PROBLEM: I can't figure out how to access the campaigns under Blue Planet.
- do I need to complete the FS2 campaign first?
I launch the game through Blue Planet icon within the Knossus.NET launcher with 'blueplanetscomplete' and 'FSO' activated and I can only see and play the FS2 vanilla campaign.
I've been a gamer since WC1 hit the 286-PC and I've played at least 7 full years of my life away in video games. I'm presently pushing 70, but still gaming strong. Can you give your surrogate Grandpa a helping hand? What am I too obtuse or senile to be missing here?
Thanks.

EDIT - 03/12/2024
I had initially deleted and redownloaded 'Blue Planet Complete 3.3.3' after its initial failure. Same result and then I posted my "Help me Obi-Wan".
Today I dl'd Knossos.NET on a different PC (my NVIDIA high end system) with follow up 'Blue Planet Complete' and it ran. I compared files between the 2 different PCs and found out instead of ~ 5.6GB of data on the working PC my 'blueplanetcomplete' on the nonfunctioning PC was only 950MB.
Deleted entire game and redownloaded. Game now shows all campaigns and appears to be running nominally.
Thanks for your tips and your welcoming. Double kudos to all of those who've made these mods.
