I use JFW 13. It's a bit hit and miss but: Ctrl+home to top of the screen. Then, route JAWS to PC. You should then be able to use virtual cursor to locate the free flight button. I believe too that there is a setting within FSX which prevents the home screen from popping up every time that the simulator starts, but I may have dreamt that.

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: Microsoft Flight Simulator - Home Flight Simulator Skip Navigation Links News and Events Team Travels Free Flight Missions and Multiplayer Developers' Corner Support Downloads Partnerships Community Links Product Information Buy Now!

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!
