Yes, JFW does announce the ATC menu being open, window eyes announces a change, but is not explicit like JFW. I’m not sure whether 4.71 has yet been announced on this list, the performance improvement has rendered me speechless, so as I can’t speak, back to my flight to Palermo, see if I encounter the same mountain as Jordan. Unbelievable increase in speed.

Hi Robert. Please correct me if I am wrong, or a fellow BVI pilot who’s using JAWS can correctly me if I am wrong. But I have notice while flying that JAWS wil tell us without doing anything when it is switching to ATC. At least I’ve heard it say from time to time ATC. So maybe it is switching in and out of the ATC window. But I could be wrong on this. Now I need to go stress test the latest beta. HTH.

Hi, REGARDING: could be a way for michelle to tell those of us who are blind the current state of the ATC window Yes. I can address this issue as soon as I have completed the development of the next release which has a lot of updates users are anxiously awaiting.

Maybe there could be a way for michelle to tell those of us who are blind the current state of the ATC window. Like she does with the simulator. I.e., when we issue the command "ATC," or, "toggle ATC," Michelle could say "the ATC windows is now open and in view," or, "the ATC window has now been closed."

REGARDING: when I tell Michelle to get the local weather, doesn't that open the ATC window? No. The ATC window will be wherever it is. REGARDING: when the next command, "Charlotte clearance delivery," is spoken, ATC window should already be open. Not necessarily. REGARDING: Obviously Michelle interacts with the ATC window... Not exactly. The Microsoft simulator opens and closes the window at various points in time. REGARDING: In other words, how do I get all the sounds from FSX and IYP to be recorded as well I use fraps, which can be purchased at http://www.fraps.com NOTE: Please understand that SuperATC does not guarantee the state of the ATC window.

This way I will know for sure the state of the ATC window when I issue the commands. Although, now that I think about it, when I tell Michelle to get the local weather, doesn't that open the ATC window? Therefore, when the next command, "Charlotte clearance delivery," is spoken, ATC window should already be open. Obviously Michelle interacts with the ATC window, because after I say, "ready to copy," she executes something, but instead of hearing clearance delivery, I hear the weather info again. So if a sighted person can see the active state of the ATC window, this might be helpful. I am also going to create a recording of my the next attempt, if I can figure out how you're accomplishing it. When I record, my voice can be recorded, but I am not quite sure how to record other sounds from the PC. In other words, how do I get all the sounds from FSX and IYP to be recorded as well" -- AOPA Member No: 06936977 -- <http://www.itsyourplane.com/10000.jpg> AOPA Member No: 06936977
