Well, I don't use jaws because I don't think paying for access to a screen reader is morally correct, I only use NVDA. System Access is old and not supported anyway, so yeah. You'll have issues using fsx with NVDA, so stop spreading false info. And also p3d 4 is 64 bit, so it'll be more stable.

Well, for comparison, I don't have to use object nav at all in prepared, It's just buttons and list items. There's no free flight bullshit, you just choose an aircraft and airport, then go. Mind you prepared 3 isn't as good as version 4 so yeah. And no need to be so rude. There's an entire whats

Hi Damien, From Ron Kolesar. TDV has a built in tutorial. You can fly via the keyboard, but it's better if you have a USB flight yoke, joy stick. I've been signed up to the Microsoft fs 2020 project and as a blind flight simmer pilot, I'm liking what I've been seeing. They're working on two are

Prepared works better with a screen reader than fsx and it's basically the same thing, but a different name. Sent from my BrailleNote Touch Plus from HumanWare. On Jul 9, 2020 8:49 AM, Jordan Gallacher wrote: > > FSX works well with screen readers.  The Free Flight page reads well and the > s

FSX works well with screen readers. The Free Flight page reads well and the settings page works ok. However, you will need a third party autopilot such as FSX Pilot to control the aircraft. There are a few other add-ons as well that I use. Hopefully, FS 2020 will really be fully accessible a

Hi Tyler, Well, that's me told. I wouldn't have known the difference. As I say, I have absolutely no background in aircrafts. To be honest, a lot of that message went way over my head. Cheers, Damien. On 09/07/2020 02:19 pm, Tyler Chambliss wrote: Well, as an aviation enthusiast who actually p

Well, as an aviation enthusiast who actually plays a mainstream flight sim, yes it's actually possible. NVDA reads all the menus at least until you start a flight, and most addon developers are very undrstanding and we have a few addons that say that they have accessibility for screen readers suppo

The only one I can comment on is TDV. For that one, you just need to check speed (s) and angle (n), and make sure they're low enough. If your too loose alarm (the buzz) is going off and your angle is very low (I usually descend to a low point, level, take out my lan

Hi, Is there any way of learning flight simulators like 3D Velocity or Eurofly if you've had no background in aeronautics and the like? I know 3D Velocity has an active tutorial mode, but I'm good at crashing even on that. Eurofly seems to have no interactive tutorial at all, and the quickstart
