This is an experiment of Harun using "It's Your Plane"'s new features that aid the blind pilot! The flight is the same as before, a short flight from Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (LIPZ).
Both pilots did survive this disaster, and have been released from the hospital with minor injuries... Perhaps a few too many martini's were surved INFLIGHT?? :)
Enjoy!
Ahoy.

This is the long-awaited Beginner's Podcast. Two pilots cover the basics of installing FS, getting a flight going, and other beginner concerns.
Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions for future podcasts!

This is a (comedic) experimental audio, of Harun using "It's Your Plane" to take a short flight from Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (LIPZ).
If you've got audio to share, let us know. The community can always grow more!

We're currently looking for some FS2004 test pilots to try a voice program called "It's Your Plane". Located at http://www.itsyourplane.com/ .
The program allows you to control the plane using your voice.This could possibly eliminate the need for FSNav, but I'm not sure.
If you're interested in trying it out, please leave your results here.
This is a new INTERMEDIATE recording (beginner recordings, explaining features, will be uploaded soon), featuring 2 pilots from the Project, showing howto startup FS2002 and get off the ground. FSNav setup, and FS controls are also discussed.

Welcome to the "Blind Pilots Project"!
This is a project that is being continued, from a few years back, to enable blind and visually impaired persons to access flight simulators, and fly (either alone, or with a virtual airline) to their hearts content.
This is done via Microsoft Flight Simulator, (2002 is the most accessible via screen reader, but 2004 can be used with NVDA) a screen reader, and a few plugins for FS such as FSNav.
This small blog, I hope, will serve as a place other BVI persons can find out about the project, and get in conteact with eachother to share tips, flights, and have a good time.
Abit about myself will do. My name is Harun, and I'm 23. I'm low-partial (RoP IV) and in college. I enjoy translating and flight simulation.
RESOURCES:
-Here are some very important resources to get you started. Please listen to them, and leave comments if you'd like to share other audio content or flight tips.
1. Scott Shade on BlindCoolTech podcast. -- This is the series that started me on this crazy journey. Scott introduces the concept, and explains requirements and demonstrations.
