I posted this to the BVI forum, but I thought I would post it here as
well. I am using Windows 7, 32-bit, with Jaws for Windows, version
11. I wish to use FSX with IYP. I currently have FSX with the
acceleration expansion installed, as well as FSUIPC version 4.80.
When I run FSX, JFW says, "microsoft flight simulator x, home
dddialog." This screen is read by JFW as though it were a regular web
page in a browser, complete with virtual pc cursor and all. There are
links, just like in a web page. The problem is this: I have tried
hitting the alt key, every function key, the tab key, to try to get
into the menus where I can choose my aircraft, select my flight, etc.
Nothing seems to work. I can't get away from this screen. Turning
virtual cursor off does not help either. When I run IYP after loading
FSX to this home screen, it tells me that the simulator is running,
but that there is no aircraft detected. I really hope there is a way
to resolve this, as I would like to eventually fly IYP virtual
airlines, and if I am reading correctly, I have to use FSX to do that.
I caught something on the BVI forum about other blind pilots who do
fly IYP-VA, so apparently there is a way to use JFW with FSX. Can
someone help please? I will paste here a portion of the opening
screen that JFW reads to me, just so that everyone can know exactly
what I am referring to. The home screen looks like this, in part:

Ok, so how do I get away from that screen so I can enter my flights
menus, or other menus so that I can choose an aircraft and then load
IYP? If there truly are other blind pilots flying IYP-VA, then
somehow it is possible to use FSX with JFW. Help please!
