Also, another note: there are only some options that you must use virtual mouse
with PF3. Also, with NVDA, some of the options aren’t labeled, but that’s also
the case with RC4. I’m going to get with David at PF3 to see if he can fix that
in the next update.
Speaking of updates, PF3 just got one yesterday. RC4 hasn’t gotten one in 10
years.

I am running RC4 at the moment. It is completely accessible unlike PF3,
which needs to be used with your virtual mouse as far as I can tell with PF3.
RC4 has too few voices, which is its major downside, and also it will take a
little time to get used to it since approaching your destination airport will
be handled differently from MS ATC, and not all the voice commands are the
same. The nice thing about RC4 is that Control Shift K hands the radios off
to the co-pilot, and you get an audible confirmation when you hit this key
combination. PF3 has a similar function, but not only is there no audible
feedback, you can easily forget which mode you have it in because its command
for this also switches to where the Co-pilot also has the navigational
radios. I tend to hand off the radios once I have received take off
clearance so that I can focus on flying the plane especially during the
approach phase where things can and do happen quickly. It is also nice to be
able to be at cruise and not have to do a thing.
Hope this helps, and the next YouTube video I will be putting out in a couple
weeks will probably make the above make more sense.

Tried researching this question, but couldn't find a real answer.
What are the major differences, and which is more pleasing?
