To answer your question about finding the c drive.
I've still learning my way around win 10 myself.
So, I'm by no means a expert.
But I have a shortcut to my desktop to launch the flying programs that I need.
They are as follows:
1. FSX-Gold. I have the short cut as fsx.
2. IYP.
3.for as close to real weather as possible and a free version of the program.
FSrealWX lite
I had tried and wrote to the people behind the pro ATC program.
They wrote me back and stated that their program isn't blind friendly at the current time.
Will they make it BVI Pilot friendly for the future?
I don't know.
But I had asked them to keep my contact info and to contact me if and when they will.
I also offered to help if they had a question that only a blind person could answer.
But, I'll keep everyone up to date.
The one thing I hate with FSX-Gold is that the weather and the date and time are never accurate.
Since being connected to the internet, you would think they would be up to the minute.
If, anyone as a program that works for date, time and weather and maybe a more realistic program for filing a flightplan as close to the real world that is BVI Pilot friendly.
Please let me know.
To all

If Robert is still receiving his mail, I hope he will be getting well soon.
Haven't heard from him or a IYP upgrade since June.
So, hoping he's well.
Ron, who still doesn't have his full voice back so he can fly once again.

Glad to know that Windows 10 is allowing you to fly! I had a friend ask me
if IYP was compatible, so now I can tell him for sure! I figured your user
folder was in c:\users\kev, for example, but I guess not? I'll do some
asking around, though.

Hi to all.
With my voice problems I really didn't do to much flying.
But with win 10, you have the choice of two new copilots/first officers.
We have both a new male and a new female voice that is better and the older
Anna with win 7.
The one thing that I need to find in win 10 is th eolder app data folder
where the fsx.cfg files is at and so on.
So, if anyone knows how to fing where the app data folder is at within win
10.
I would be greatful for the help.
Many thanks and keep the Blue Side up.
