Hey all. Regarding the Festival and OPRF -
We are planning on basing out of EGQL Leuchars, and there will be various flights from EGQL to EGQS, and further north. Most, if not all, of our operations are centered around the Shetland Islands, and if the list on the first post is still up to date, then no ATC will be within 100nm of combat areas. The most absolute south that combat could occur is around EGPA.
If you fly around there, expect fast aircraft and explosions.
We wanted this to be closer to the festival so that we have to interact with Festival ATC, and that another Japan/South Korea split doesn't happen like last time.
Any aircraft with the callsign "OPFOR--", with -- being two numbers, are opposing force and will ignore ATC. The only people authorized to fly as OPFOR are high ranking OPRF members (Colonel and above), and will not be flying farther south than EGPA, nor disrupting Festival activities. ATC's are welcome to neglect/ignore them as they see fit.
All OPRF members not flying as OPFOR are expected to behave and cooperate with ATC. If we need to transit through controlled airspace at a high speed, we will notify ATC.
OPRF are a group aimed towards promoting
realisim in operating military aircraft, not just slinging missiles. We aim to be the best in all aspects of aviation, so please let us know how we can improve.
And, as always, all are welcome to fly with us, as long as you're willing to use the OPRF aircraft and are open to being shot down. =]
