Hi Brent. You found the right place to ask your flying questions.My name is Ron Kolesar and I live here in north west corner of Pennsylvania with my current leader dog Boz. The one main problem with jaws is that you have to tab back tap and to make sure you have the bird that you want to fly you have to route to from the pc curssor to the jaws curssor.
I really haven't had that much luck with NVDA. But other's will probably have some help for you.If you have Microsoft flight simulator version ten gold which is bettern known as fsx gold,?
I can help you set up your first flight plan. Hope this helps you with your first flight. Blind Pilot Ron and current Leader Dog boz who states "that a service dog beats a cane paws down any day of the week."-----Original Message----- From: Brent Harding

I had just found this list not long ago after googling around to see what the current state of blind people flying with MS Flight Simulator was since I understand that FSNavigator was shut down shortly after some initial demos were posted on Blind cool tech. I ended up finding some of the demo files with IYP from the various forum posts that are out there., and I'm interested in getting this set up. I still have XP on my machine yet. I use Jaws for my screen reader. How would I get through the speech recognition trai without sighted help? Would NVDA or something work better to get over this hurgle? Also, since all the demos I dug up were using FS2002 or 2004, how will things work with FSX, which is what I assume is the only legally available version of flight sim sold now? I heard on some messages that Jaws won't speak with it, and others that do if one escapes the first flight they put you in on first start. I figured I would ask first before I put a bunch of money down on something that won't work on my system. Thanks.
