Hello Kevin,
REGARDING: BVI mode
To start with, please be advised that the Blind and/or Visually Impaired
(BVI) mode of operation is only available with the registered IYP version.
Also, please understand that there is a 30-day money back guarantee unless
you are 110% satisfied.
REGARDING CUSTOMIZED FLIGHTS
When you select a "commercial" aircraft (like a jet liner, which by the way
you can only operate with the registered version as well), you select the
aircraft's DETAILS tab in order to enter the:
Tail Number: (NOTE: in the USA all tail numbers begin with the letter N)
Airline Call Sign: e.g., World Travel, United, US Air, etc.
Flight Number: (NOTE: This is always a 2-4 digit NUMERIC expression)
Here's a very helpful link that explains how to set up the AIRLINES.CFG
file and how to add voices to the FSX audio system.

What also may be of interest is a section entitled:
Call Sign Alteration
located in the Flight Deck Doc manual which can be downloaded from the
Resources area of the IYP website located here:
http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/manuals.asp
Also in the Flight Deck Doc manual, there's a "must read" section entitled:
Update your FSX ATC Voice Pack
Albeit a tad overwhelming, I trust you will find the foregoing helpful.
Regards,
Robert
PS. Thank you for your kind remarks.
