January 19, 20215 yr I wanted to make people aware of a specialized flight sim add-on that we've been developing over the last couple years. Talking Flight Monitor (TFM) is an open source accessibility add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, or Lockheed Martin Prepar3d. This software is designed to allow a totally blind person to enjoy flight simulation. The software has had some very limited testing with the new Flight Simulator 2020, but bare in mind that there are still serious accessibility issues with Flight Simulator 2020. It is not recommended for use at this time for blind players. TFM is under constant development. We just started a Youtube channel where you can find videos about how to use the product. We have one video up now, with more coming. The Youtube channel can be found at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJy9gM … vww/videos I would encourage anyone who is interested to subscribe to the channel. Once we get 196 subscribers, we can get a more friendly URL for the channel. More info on the project can be found on our website at:http://www.talkingflightmonitor.net This project has been under development for almost two years now, and many people in the blind flight simming community are using it.
