Jason et al,
Actually, the ActiveSky UI is pretty accessible if you use NVDA object
navigation or equivalent to explore it, and limit yourself to one window at a
time. You don’t need to use it very often, assuming you just want to fly with
accurate real-time weather.
You do want to launch it, or ensure it’s running in your system tray, at any
rate, before you start FSX.
Best,
Zack.

I have ActiveSky Next, purchased from Steam.
The UI isn't all that accessible unfortunately.
For those of you with ActiveSky 2016, do you need to run ActiveSky before you
run fsx and load a flight. It looks like you need to with ActiveSky Next.

I wouldn’t get Active Sky Next. It is the old version of Active Sky at this
point. Active Sky 2016 is what you want. All you have to do is install it,
say yes to the dialogue boxes that come up the first time you run it and you
are all set. <>

Subject: [bvipilots] How Blind friendly is the active sky next weather
program add on?
For my fellow BVI Pilots who are using JAWS.
Just curious to know how blind friendly or if there’s any tips and or tricks
for
1. installing active sky next.
2. Setting it up so it will work with IYP, FSX and of course JAWS.
How blind friendly is the UI?
Many Thanks.
Ron who now only has five programs to grab before he starts flying once
again.
