Help with 1st co-op campaign.

[PCMRDiazejam]

Hello.
I'm having trouble setting up a co-op campaign, the problem is I cant get the 'Create Campaign' tab to light up and be clickable after I've created it. 
I'm only looking to fly with two other players for now and I've added them as co-op players prior to creating our campaign. I'm still learning so it's very likely that I've overlooked something, I've had a quick look through some of these associated posts but can't find any help. This is as far as I can get:



Apologies if this is covered elsewhere and if it is then please point me in the right direction.

TIA 
Jam

At this point you are only creating the campaign.  If you are running it this is basically you.  We will get to adding more players in a second.

 

Player Name is the name of your pilot

User your username.  If you don't have one in the dropdown you can simply type it into the text box to the right

After that it is pretty much like single player

- pick a map

- pick a date

- pick a role (fighter, attack, etc.)

- pick a starting rank for your pilot

- pick a squadron

- generate the campaign

 

Adding your friends in the next post ...

 

continued ...

 

Once you have the campaign created you now want to add your friends

From your campaign

- choose personnel

- choose add pilot

 

You will get a screen much like the one above.  Fill that out for each of the participants.  The name of his persona, his username, etc.  They may be added all to the same unit for true coop or spread across different units, even the other side.

 

Also, you and the other participants can each have more than one persona.  Make as many as you like.  The only restriction is that each human participant can only have one of his personas in each mission - pretty obvious as the same human cannot fly more than one plane in a mission.

Ah, I see, that makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the reply and I'll get on with creating those extra users when I'm on this evening. ?
