Hi. I am shivering with excitement to play the new WIH Act.

 Question - do I have to start a campaign from the beginning to play the new stuff or is there a way to jump straight in?

My pilot who completed original Blue planet can't carry on - FS2 says that the campaign is complete and I have to restart.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Go to the campaign room and select act3 

[The Matadore]

There is no Act 3 listed... I have FS2 campaign, Age of Aquarius, WIH part 1 and the Blade itself?

Any idea why Act 3 not showing?

Have you installed Act 3 as per the instructions posted here ?

Edit: If so, post a debug log here (run the "fs2_open_3_6_17_DEBUG_SSE2_BP" build, and paste the fs2_open.log, located in your <fs2 root>/data folder.)

If you installed WiH correctly, you should be seeing WiH part 2 in the campaign list. Despite the name, that's actually act 3. If you're not seeing it, please post a debug log here, like Cybertrance said.

Yeah, those should be renamed to WiH Act 1&2 and WiH Act 3 I believe.

And then renamed back when Acts 4 and 5 are out? 

[Kobrar44]

Just keep to one naming convention. WiH Act x is less confusing that BP part 2: WiH part 2: WiH act 3 or whatever this is.

Naming the campaign files 'Acts 1 + 2' and 'Act 3, 4 + 5' might honestly be a little clearer, it's not a terrible idea.

And when you guys release the Directors Cut, just consolidate all acts into one!

Without some serious overhauling that would cause them both to break and not work. Part 1 is at the engine max for PPVs.

Wow...I didn't realize Act 1 had PPVs in the first place! Did we have events affecting future missions (like in Act 3) in Acts 1 and 2 as well?

e: PPV here means player persistent variables, right? 

[The E]

The entire checkpoint system runs on player-persistant variables.

Ah yes, I totally forgot about the checkpoint system! forget I said anything...

Yes, do this. It is the least ambiguous nomenclature, given Blue Planet's actual (rather than orginially planned) release schedule.

With the current system, anyone who does not follow the Blue Planet forum closely will have no idea what "Part 2" means, because it means something different now than it will later. When Acts 4 and 5 are released, players will see a campaign file named "Part 2" and think they've already played it.
