Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Partially Accessible Train Sim found
Good news. I've done some poking around an I've found an open-source Train
Sim.
It's called "Open BVE". The main menu is the most accessible of the Train
Sims I've tried.
Here's my rundown. Keep in mind this is days old in my head, so it hasn't
been fleshed out much.
OpenBVE: Main Menu partially accessible. There's a radio button with
"Start new game", "Review last game", "Controls", and "Options" that I
can't get to with NVDA.
MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator): Main menu not accessible.
Railworks: Main menu not accessible.
Trainz 2009: Main menu not accessible.

Dependencies:

-Follow this! Took me a few hours of tinkering to finally get it to work.
Maybe I can ZIP a working copy for others.

-Sounds quite good for freeware!
Since OpenBVE is open-source, we might be able to ask the developers to
add sounds to actions (brakes release, brakes applied, etc)
and indicators for variables (speed, block speed limit, next block speed,
signal status, etc etc)
I've used an old program, "FS2002FA", to issue voice commands to the sim,
and it seems to work great. "Increase throttle", "Emergency brake", and so
on.
I'll try to make an audio demo next week after my hellish gov't final is
done.
Let's hope this can be made a reality!
Cheers,
