Add-ons developers news If you have a friend with a disability who believes it prevents them from enjoying the thrill of flight simulation . . . think again! They too can use Microsoft?s Flight Simulators and take to the skies!

"Its Your Plane" (IYP) is a flight sim application that enables ANYONE to control a flight from Preflight to Shutdown . . . .

USING VOICE ALONE

IYP works with Microsoft Flight Simulators 2002, 2004 and FSX, on XP and Vista, using an ever-growing list of general aviation and commercial aircraft that are parked in the IYP HANGER - http://www.itsyourplane.com/aircraft.asp.


Not convinced? A number of registered IYP users who are either blind or visually impaired, are already regular users of this exciting application. Many other physically handicapped IYP enthusiasts have proven that it can be done.

How does it work? IYP has an interactive "live" co-pilot (Mike or Michelle) who can be asked to walk you through any or all the IYP checklists from Pre-flight to Shutdown, and instructed to perform all the necessary manoeuvres to fly the aircraft. Click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N5U8gI8DAM&feature=related to watch and listen to Co-Pilot Mike assisting the Captain to land their Cessna Skyhawk at Abbotsford Airport (CYXX).

The following is a recommendation from one of our blind pilots:

?I am very much enjoying my experience with ItsYourPlane! It?s awesome! Thank you for all the hard work you put in to ItsYourPlane and for the modifications you have made to make the application usable by blind users.?

Some time ago, Robert Cezar, the developer of It?s Your Plane, recognized that people with visual or physical disabilities should have just as much enjoyment using IYP as other users. He therefore, enhanced the IYP software to make IYP aircraft even easier to fully control by voice alone. Here are some examples:
