I think this is a very good description. My only comment is that setup of fsx, fsuipc, iyp, and configuration tricks to make it work with screen readers would probably be a bit of a challenge for beginning users. IN particular, the set up pannels of fsx in particular do not read very well and require some fancy screen reading tricks to figure out. Wonder if we could put a .cfg file some place with all of the settings set appropriately some place for people to download.
Just a couple of examples which people might have ideas on automating.1. When fsx starts, it is on the home screen and getting a screen reader to navigate to the free flight screen is quite a trick.
2. the volume controls for environment, engine volumes, traffic level etc to not read accurately with any screen reader I have tried. Well, actually, was sort of accurate with nvda but window-eyes and jaws, forget it.
I may have introduced some of this complexity myself because I have the acceleration pack installed rather than the standard fsx installation. Perhaps I will play with this on one of my test machines.
