About the Campaign

How will you organize the campaign later in the final?0
Will it be one campaign, or will you make more than one (select the other in planning room).

And if you do it the 2nd way, is it possible to do something that you can swich between Campaigns like in (the original) X-Wing? I mean play 2 missions in C1 and then a few in C2. And then play on in Chapter 1 Mission3.

If you play half of a campaign and then start another campaign you loose all progress in the first campaign. In other words: no
Ofcourse if you have another pilot that you use in the other campaign you can switch between them...

No. FS2 campaigns are linear; they can (in theory) be branching but if you change campaigns (say Campaign X to Campaign Y) you lose ALL your progress in Campaign X, and when you play Y, then go back to X, you have to start X all over again.

(yeah using variables as names!)

And as an aside, I hated that in TIE Fighter. I played the campaigns in order...switching around seemed silly.

Yeah it was oddest side of Tie Fighter, but it had good side also. If you couldn't get to next mission you always (almost) play other campaign missions and still advance.

Of course I know, that this is impossible in originall FS2.
I meant if its possible to get this working with the source code or table editing or anything else.
Sorry for the bad way of saying (proberbly lost words in the translation)

I am fairly sure that how campaigns are handled will not be changed.

By the way, if my memory serves me well. (don't count on that)
Skullar's Earth Alliance Civil War campaign will be our main campaign, assisted with several other campaign, varying in sizes and styles.

We're definately into a multi-campaign approach. Skullars will probably be the definitive campaign, but there are others we could do.
