Good news! This plugin makes MSFS more accessible for visually impaired people.
This plugin is launched beside the simulator and allows you to receive voice announcements on different parameters of your aircraft, such as your airspeed, altitude, heading and even your radio altitude (altitude relative to the ground)
Another function even allows you to know your vertical speed (variometer) by means of music notes: the higher the sound, the faster you go up and vice versa if you go down
At this moment, the program is available in French and English. A function also allows you to change the language "on the fly".
You are just few steps to enjoy a more accessible MSFS:
0. Unzip this file and put it anywhere. No need to be in your community folder.
1. run "test_your_joystick" program to find the buttons on your joystick that you want to use with Butler-Fly
2. Modify the file Helper.py and map your prefered buttons to Butler-Fly events (in the section "dictionnaries for joysticks known events")
Be careful when modifying this file. It is written in Python and may crash the program if you add symbols that do not belong to its synthaxis
3. Run the Butler-Fly program (preferably when the simulator is ready...)
(4). ENJOY
A more detailed documentation stands on the root directory
Thank you! This is great to use with aircraft that have only exterior views (C-130) and no cockpit. This will provide airspeed, altitude etc wonderfully! If your looking for suggestions of controls to add : flaps, doors, lights would ne nice!
