Hello to all of my fellow BVI pilots.
Below is the letter that I had received from my friend Remi.
He finally gave me the green light to give out his contact info.
So he knows about FSX and about flying, but he doesn't know about screen
readers and JAWS.
Maybe we can help him out.
Below is his new web page project for all pilots both blind and sighted
alike.
So if we can help him he'll help us.
So now here's his letter that he had written to me last night.
One last thing, he is on mountain time, so especially for we here on the
east coast, he's two hours behind us and is in Canada.
Now here's his letter with the web page link and his e-mail address.
Now let's make a real realistic flight simulator that mirrors the sighted
pilot's flight simulator with every item on every checklist.
Hi to my dear friend Ron,
I totally understand what you're going through and I feel kind of helpless
as to create a video that would show you how to program the FMC In any jet
plane!
Since there are so many things to consider when you do this, I think you
either forget about the FMC and disable it totally or go all the way with
all the information you have to program into it and that may be a little too
much to handle right now!
When you watch videos on youtube or whatever, you notice the moments of
silence when the pilot enters information pertaining to his flight and may
not be useful to yours, therefore he/she will not talk about it and go ahead
with the programming assuming that the person watching it knows what's
happening, not the BVI person!
It is unfortunate that other people don't even think that some BVI friends
would like to rely on that info... perhaps they have no idea that you guys
already have a good knowledge and the power to see what they do or talk
about in videos!
One way or another, I will find a way to make the connection between the BVI
and the rest of the flying world if I can!
So far, I just opened a new website exclusively for this hobby and I'm just
waiting to have a little more time to make it so everyone can share his
point of view with others including the BVI friends... it might make them a
bit more aware of the BVI situation, I would hope!
In case you'd like to take a look, here's my site that is still at a very
primitive stage (you may have some good ideas on how to improve it):
www.funsimhobby.com
you can also contact me at this address:
remi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
so far, there's nothing in there except a couple of video clips that I
thought where nice!
Just let me know what you think for a good design!
Thanks,
Remi

Subject: Could you record a tutorial to learn how to program the FMC for the
767-300 er for fsx?
Hi Remi.
I don't want to get you mad at me.
But I have tried over and over again, and from a BVI pilot's point of view,
IYP is more BVI friendly than MCE.
With that said, would you be abel to make another one of your beautiful
flying videos walking a BVI through learning how to program the FMC.
You know how we think and I'm not sure, but I think you know your way around
the screen reader JAWS which most of us use for a screen reader.
Could you help us out?
Jordan tells me in his opinion as a fellow BVI for now to stay away from the
767-300 ER since we can't program the FMC.
I did a search for
(tutorials for programing the Flight Management computer for the 767-300 er
for fsx) Now I know there's several tutorials out there on you tube, but
there's to many silent seens in the videos since the video was designed for
a sighted pilot.
Do you think you could find us something or find something and tweak it for
BVI pilots step by step?
I realize you probably have a over flowing plate.
But could you do this for we BVI pilots who would love the realistic as
possible experience of flying by going through each step of each checklist
like a sighted pilot would do before, during and after a flight?
Many Thanks.
Blind Pilot who knows if he were sighted would be flying.
