Hi Wyatt,
Welcome to the list. I can take a stab at answering some of these questions. To
begin with, the abbreviation is FSX, not SFX, which generally stands for sound
effects. *smiles* I just thought you might want to be aware.
First off, yes, a USB mic will work very nicely for IYP. If it has good noise
cancelation you should be set. I’m using one at the moment without any
problems, though I also tend to use a pair of headphones for privacy if nothing
else.
Second, FSX is available on Steam, among other places. I bought my copy there,
and it’s a fairly large download, but worth getting as you don’t have to mess
with physical DVDs and so forth. Steam is a bit tricky to navigate with any
screen reader, but it is doable. That may honestly be the hardest part of this
whole process.
Third, NVDA works very well with FSX. IYP itself is mostly voice-driven, so
you won’t have to worry too much about that. NVDA is actually the best screen
reader for FSX I’ve seen, as it can actually explore the menu bar, something
most other programs I’ve tried have trouble with.
Good luck, and feel free to ask any other questions as they come to you. This
is definitely a somewhat demanding hobby at first, but it’s a lot of fun.
Best,
Zack.
Zack.

Hello all,
My name is Wyatt Rose, and I'm new to this whole flight sim stuff.
First of all, I'm wondering if a USB microphone would be good for SFX
and IYP, as that's what I have. I can't use a headset, as I wear
hearing aids, so headsets won't work for me.
Second, where can I get SFX? I've looked for it but can't seem to find
it at all.
Last question. How accessible is getting IYP setup with NVDA?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Wyatt
