Only 17 votes on the MSFS accessibility topic. They won't even come within six feet of it.

2020-09-09 19:39:09

TBF, it's going to need tens of thousands.

In addition to voting, we need to all push for this model of voting for accessibility features out the window. Accessibility isn't a feature, and that mentality should be challenged.

If we all push for devs and publishers to move away from this model, it need not be confined to blind/VI simmers. Everyone benefits if we do this.

He's talking about fs2020.
I could argue with him but it would be sort of not valid I am a massive  aviation lover and i need to keep working on it and try to get our voices heard, because it is worth it.  But he is right that working with the UI is just a massive pain, though right now i can set a flight  within  2 minutes, Controlling the aircraft is still work in progress.  talking flight monitor dot net  works with fs2020 already, FS Tramp also works with it as well, but i like to have control over my aircraft so  i am personally waiting for multi crew experience so i could pare it with TFM and possibly another good navigational software, then i am good to go.

Hadi,

With FSTramp you can control the aircraft with the avionics panel. It only takes complete control if you want it to.

How do you guys play this thing. it's a flight simulator is so it should be more complicated than a lot of other video games

Ah, well, this is disappointing.  I had hoped MS would add accessibility to this, but I'm not really surprised.

2020-09-11 23:24:31

@35:

You do know accessibility is more than just blind people can play it, and that MS did, in fact, make it accessible for various people yes? Acccessibility is not exclusive to the blind. DJ made this point in an earlier post and it bears repeating. MS /did/ make it accessible. Just not for blind people. So yes, MSFS 20202 is accessible.

I wouldn't go that far; it has accessibility features is one thing apart from being accessible.

I just saw those notes today. I will be curious to see what accessibility updates actually consist of, but it's still nice to see that accessibility is being acknowledged.

from Mce developer, when i asked them about updates:
Since we aren't producing virtual aircraft or scenery, obviously no screenshot to show here.
Interfacing is going well and we should have a new MSFS 2020 compatible MCE package by mid-next week.

No. this does not prove anything.
We are going to have to be patient whether we like it or not.

MCE beta is out for fs2020.
If you own MCE and would like to participate, send a mail to their support email.
You'll find out about my findings  and  i am optimistic that i would be able to fly  from startup to shutdown with the aircrafts systems themselves, MCE and TFM.
more to follow.

There is a live Q&A tomorrow ,Asobo and Microsoft where they are answering the hot topics in their forums.
Our topic unfortunately never made to the top.
But please share it to your friends and family so we can get there.

Is there an article or some kind of guide on how to setup fsx?
I know its a little off topic but i would be interested in maybe trying it out.

Don't use FSX, use Prepar3D version 4.
