My advice is coming from a fsx-gold user.
After you install FSX-Gold and the excelleration program that comes with
FSX-Gold.
For the first time, If, you're using JAWS, Route PC curssor to JAWS and up
arrow until you see free flight button. left click on that button but
smacking the enter key and or the left mouce button. Which for us is the
second button in from the left at the top of the small calculator keypad on
the right side of your keyboard.
Also, if you Want to access your settings to tweak your sounds and or video,
do the same, but up arrow and or down arrow until you find the settings
button.
It is a little on the tricky side, but it can be done.
But once you've clicked on the Free Flight button.
Most normal every day features will be in the normal pc currsor mode.
for example.
Alt C from the main menu will bring up the list of birds to choose from.
In this page if you alt A, will select the entire list of all of the birds
to choose from.
And, alt S, will show you all of the painjobs for that bird.
You will have to tab over until you actualy see the list of birds.
Alt, S, will show you all of your saved flight plans.
From the main menu if you alt A will select how to set the weather.
Alt N will show you how to select the current time.
From the main menu Alt P will take you to the flight plan mode.
Simply tab over to see country, then tab over to see state and so on.
If you would like, I can walk you through setting up a flight plan.
But until you pay for a unlock code, you'll only have the cessna 172 sky
hock to fly with.
So, hope this is helpful.

Hi bud, I'm not sure if this is similar to what problem you're having, but I
have to do a say line command, ins+up arrow to read the current line
whenever I'm going through the list of airports in the flight planner, and
probably other places. I don't think it's a display problem, the controls
aren't labeled in a standard way for JAWS to interact with them. That's
Microsoft for you, I guess.

Hi to all.
Yesterday while flying for IYPVA FL226 I had a hickup while doing the
parking check list.
Rober knows about this problem.
But Robert doesn't know about JAWS.
So I ask the following question to my fellow jaws users.
Here is my problem.
It looks like I'm having a display problem.
When I down arrow through my saved flight plans I get the following.
Instead of the name of my flight plans I get number.
for example, the first in the list is number one, the next one is number
two
and so on down throughout the entire list of flight plans where the name
of
the flight plan should be.
But if I tab over while still in the PC curssor mode, to description it
reads correctly like it should be doing.
The same thing happens when I use the alt C command and tab over the the
list of birds to select from.
But if I route PC curssor to the JAWS curssor I can see the name of my
birds
and the names of my flight plans like they should be showing up in the
normal PC curssor mode.
Anyone know a fix for this anoying problem?
Many Thanks.
