Hello, from Blind Flight Simmer Pilot Ron Kolesar.
I’m trying to move my steam account from my C drive to my new larger F Drive.
Even though I’m uninstalled then reinstall my steam on to my computer, and the steam recognizes that it should be on the newer F drive, my games are still going to my C drive.
Now, I’m going to uninstall steam and reinstall it on November first to start the month off right.
So, between now and then, can anyone send me a DM?
Then we could connect via team viewer and or I also then could share my phone number to see why I can’t move my steam games from the c drive to the newer larger F drive.
Also, a question.
I saw a roomer from this past flight expo that there will be a Dassault 50 for we rich playboy pilots.
Is this true?
I miss the good old days of flying the DF7X in FSX.
Also, will the DF50 be accessible through the one main addon program that blind pilots use called FSUIPC?
In my flight bag I have the following add on programs.
FS First Officer better known as FSFO.
Then a program called Talking flight monitor, which was written by two blind people.
Then there’s say intentions
Then of course is FSUIPC
If you’d like to see how a blind person enojys the flight simulator, then check out the two following you tube pages.
The first one is the following URL address:
Now the above link that I threw into this letter actually does work.
I just verified it before I added it to the letter.
The secound you tube page is at:
Lounging with John.
He even has the option of live chat.
So there you have it.
Here’s some feedback on how a blind person interacts with one’s computer.
Hopefully this will help to make the flight sim more accessible.
The first two programs are free.
The first is narraotr, which comes with all windows based computers.
Then the next one is called Non-Visual Desktop Access or NVDA for short.
You can grab this one from:
Now, this last one is what the majority of us use.
It is called JAWS for windows.
In demo mode you’ll only get a 40 minute demo window and then it will ask you to reboot your computer for additional demo windows.
So, I say to do the following.
set a timer for roughly 30 to 35 minutes.
This should give you enough time to backup your work that you’re stress testing jaws out with.
Then reboot the computer for another 40 minute demo window.
The web site to grab jaws from is at:
I’ve used FSX and I purchased 2020 and also 2024.
We all want the latest and the gratest.
But the most important part is to have it accessible as well.
I’ve also sat in on several telephone round table discussion groups on offering advice, suggestions and or recommendations how how to make the sim accessible when 2020 was on the drawingboards.
So, here’s hoping you can help me out and in return I hope I can help you to see how to make the sim accessible to we who need to see with our ears since our eyes don’t work.
Very Thankfully Yours,
Ron Kolesar AKA The Blind Pilot
