That is where you are wrong and completely wrong. There needs to be a law requiring all things be accessible for one. Two, Microsoft Flight Simulaotr is perfectly accessible. Ron Koliser apparently does not think so but he has never bothered to learn how to use the programs that make it accessible. So, what I am trying to get at is companies should be required to make accessibility built right in, which would be preferred, or they should come up with add-on software that would make it accessible. Train simulators are a great example here. The AI can already tell what is going on and usually can tell what to do and do it correctly. Why not expand on that and add accessibility in where you would e told when a speed post comes up or there is a signal coming up or a whistle post. Tube Sim clearly shows that this can be done. Now if Open Rails would listen and figure this out, that would be a good thing. They already have a pretty good auto pilot mode which works well with some big limitations like forget trying to do any switching with the autopilot mode and sometimes it will not start the train at a station after stopping. Even more here is if accessibility were built into simulators like this, the realism actually goes up if it is done correctly. Anyway, back to working on plans for a program I probably will be taking over, and no I am not releasing any details until I am sure I am taking it over.
