Hi,
Mortal Kombat x, Killer instinct and injustice II are the ones I know so far.
Hope that helps.

The Narrator is pretty good.
Microsoft is striving to improve it this year.
Another thing they are working on is a text to speech engine for apps and games.
This will allow you to be able to read all game menus and dialog.
Game developers are starting to add audio cues to indicate where characters are 
on the screen.

Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?

[tcwood12]

Hi
Pretty sad that a simple question on here gets people bashing.
Come on!
Why should your basic computer user, who only wants things to work, have to 
enter a million commands, troubleshoot, figure things out if it doesn’t 
interest them in the slightest?
It’s not their job nor should it be.
It’s like telling an auto mechanic to work on a computer when he’s used to 
being under the hood of a car. Or telling a clothes designer to start designing 
tires for big semi’s because hey, you need to know how this works since I do 
and because you take the easy route, that makes you a bad person.
If that isn’t the intent of your message I apologize, but certainly seems so. 
Yes, I do agree, reformatting should be your last option but windows 10 makes 
it so beyond ridiculously easy to both back up and restore your pc from said 
backup
As far as dos goes – it’s the same thing. I haven’t heard it mentioned in years 
by anyone mainstream – so how can you expect anyone in the last even 10 years 
to know about it? Come on, again. Most of the things I google about for dos 
come up with complex pages that assume, similar to Linux, that you have a basic 
understanding of said operating system and it’s commands.
Really disheartening that a thread brought up with such a simple question gets 
diverted like this.

You know what scares me the most.
People who can not fix anything when it breaks.
I had someone I was working with.
I ask her, what do you do if  it breaks.
Her answer, incert the recovery disk, tell it to run then it just works.
Ok, I say then what do you do with it, load everything up was her reply.
There are 2 problems.
1.  bloated units on default config are just that default, who wants that.
2.  While people think reformatting is the last resort, running reformat 
certainly is the last resort.
But the recovery cd takes it away, it makes it work people don't seem to 
care how anymore.
We are losing our ability to fix stuff.

Hi,
It is most certainly cominb out. They smashed the goal – got 5 times plus the

Re: [Audyssey] EuroFly question

[tcwood12]

I really think it’s a matter of personal preference.
I have yet to do much of anything with either sim. I do own FX x, though after 
reading how much I need to do for the initial setup of that and iyp I was 
pretty turned off by that.
I also would love a stream of both, noting exactly how both work from start to 
finish with commands, how screen readers work, etc. And so far as I know, iyp 
costs money per minute (unless that’s changed now) which I don’t mind, of 
course. But if I’m simply learning, I’d really enjoy being able to simply try 
things for free.
Of course, it’s been a few years since I’ve done any digging in depth. So don’t 
quote me on any of this.

EuroFly is good if you are into more of what it is like to be a real world 
pilot for an airline or charter company.  IYP nor FSX compares in that regard.  
Also, the default airplane sounds in FSX are junk.  I have spent a lot of money 
just fixing that issue alone and am not done yet.  I have some videos up on 
YouTube of IYP, and while FSX and IYP plus all the other add-ons are great, it 
is nice to have something where I can actually control the aircraft, although 
with my setup here, I always am controlling the aircraft for take off and the 
initial climb before the autopilot is turned on in FSX.

[Audyssey] xbox one

[tcwood12]

Hi,
So I’ve been on this list a while. I usually just lurk, but I have a few 
questions about the xbox one.

So it’s going to be black Friday soon. My goal is to go to the states (I’m in 
Canada) and buy one of the originals for cheap. And here we go with the 
questions.
Since I can’t simply return this once I get it – it won’t be as easy as simply 
driving to the store and dropping it off, anyway – I’m curious if narrator only 
works in the US region or if I can change it to Canada, since it will still be 
English?
If not, how will the store work? Will I still be able to add my Canadian credit 
card and buy games and things that way?
My next question is simple – does narrator work on the setup screen? If I 
connect a keyboard to one of the USB ports and hit windows enter with simply a 
3.5 mm pair of headphones plugged into the controller, am I going to be able to 
get anywhere? Hopefully I won’t need HDMI – at the moment we don’t own a tv 
with one. I’m also hopefully going to find a tv on sale there, too, but right 
now I’m going with the worst.
I’m guessing if I just leave the system set to US this should work – though I’m 
going to assume since I’m buying it from the US the region should already be 
set to it.
How does the first pairing of the controller work? Is it hard?
Sorry if some of these questions seem silly. I’m from the pre ps3 era of video 
gaming, so a lot of this is completely brand new to me.
Any help is so beyond appreciated at this point.
Thanks!
Tyler
