Site Notification
UX-PA (this site) will be left dormant yet fully accessible up to February of 2020 - a full year yet. This to allow any of you access to any files that you may not have, or to copy any guides or messaging from the Forums that you might wish to retain. You may of course continue to use the Forums as a way to communicate with each other as sim pilots and I ask that the moderators keep an eye for abuse from others and suppress it if needed.
The dedicated TeamSpeak server will be available until the end of June of 2019 for the same purposes that you have used it in the past. Abuses etc. to be dealt with by the TS moderators if they would be so kind. As long as these services continue to be useful without abuse they shall remain until the dates specified.
Cheers all, and keep the dirty side down.

Starts Saturday March 3
IDITAROD 2018 Prep Flight
We're having a preparation flight for the 2018 Southern Route Iditarod, which launches next weekend in all its fun and glory.
OPERATION: BRAVE SOULS
NightFlight for Saturday - Post 5
OPERATION: Brave Souls Live Mission: 27.01.18
"The toughest mission you have ever flown for EPOCH"
Priority NOTSAM
In preparation for the active mission this weekend (see below), there are a few tests and a setup to know and/or practice.
1. The 2 airstrips you will be working from include the following:- The False Flag strip is ~ 900' long by ~ 35' wide with zero overrun
possibilities.
- The LZ (where you pick up load) is ~ 1,200' x 50' but is on a 5% slope, side to
side. Wingtip strikes pose a hazard.
- Running off the downside of the LZ strip will put you in the river.
2. There will be an aircraft attempting to interdict your flight. Ensure you know
how to add an enemy combatant to your sim experience (Aircraft Menu) and
pick an older jet from your collection that has Air-Air and, optionally, Air-
Ground missiles. (Optional mission feature for the very advanced simpilot)
3. There is a detailed .kzm file included with the Custom Scenery download, all
which will be released on Friday night (01-26-18). If you wish to view and plan
with this, you will need to ensure that you have the Google Earth Client on
your system.
The JetJerry Intel
There will be ground forces aligned against your incursion. If you get within range of their guns, they will shoot your aircraft from the sky. Ensure your visual nav skills are keen enough to stay in the safe corridors shown by the flight path plan. The .kzm file is invaluable for memorizing terrain features!

Exciting News
Classic NightFlight 04-15-17
This one is for all of you Beaver drivers (DHC-2) out there. An iconic flight, lasting a bit better than an hour and one that has already been flown in the real world 17 times today (as of 1400 PDT).
This is a classic 'light', in that we will be using custom scenery by another - namely Tom Curtis' Inside Passage. So whether you fly it tonight during our Online flight or another time on your own or with others, know that this is as close to the real deal as you can get with your trusty Beaver!

EPOCH's 2017 Iditarod Ends
That's right fliers. We have come to the end of a fantastic Iditarod. All of the needs of the mushers, teams and the Iditarod Committee and its myriad of volunteers have been met with skill and efficiency.
Congrats Team & THANK YOU!
The screencap to the left shows what a well-oiled machine looks like. The three Iditarod volunteers for EPOCH were doing their 'thing' on the day I captured this. Look at the timing-unrehearsed of course but sublime in their efficiency!
Ain't Over Yet !
Hey Iditarod Bush Pilots, this is no time to retreat to the hangar. There's still work to be done.
Keep an eye for the next few days on Pop-Up Dispatches as the Iditarod Team dispatches you to return things back to where they belong.

PREP Flight
In preparation for next weekend's (02/11/17) EPOCH Classic Flight installment, we have designed a 'close to home' practice flight that will be detailed and offered in this Saturday night's Night Flight in the Forum.
Not an " InsomniPilot "? No worries, give this exercise a GO as a solo flight or bring a few Dayfliers for a daytime tryout and get the run in - you'll be glad you did when you go forward next weekend with the classic flight.The skills that you sharpen or attain in the exercise will serve you well in a week as you will require all of this with at least 5X the drama !!!
