Hi, yes i saw some of the variables earlier today, never guessed that was so many.
Lets see. bank pitch, heading airspeed, altitude. Material under plane, if it can be done. in the other sim it says, "runway" when it is over the runway,
I tried to use a unix tool made for windows today, and it seems that if you use that for trapping the text that should work, have a little trouble finding speak so may end up installing it as a stand alone installation, let me worry about that unless you wanna use that ell file you talked about earlier.
i think for the most operations i hit the different keys 2 maybe 3 times a second, depending on the plane i am flying.
lets leave the headset for a start , we can work that out later if needed. I am trying to think about how we did interact with the radio in flight gear, i do believe i use the telnet connection to inter the frets,
like 111.70 for the ild for ksfo.
Ill mess some more with speak, i know my computer ought to have it,
I am going to show you the variables we use for instrumentation from the flight gear thing , so may we see if we can find something that is the same in Fx.

forget the first speaks only the keyboard callouts are important, ill go and look at the needle thing,i could swear we used nav 1 but yay.

ps forgot something.

I just come to think of this, if we don't wanna use speak we can write directly too nvda, which is the screenreader, if you wanna try that let me know.
