NVDA and Narrator are used by Ideal Flight because they can be used in a cooperative manner. Narrator takes precedence since this is the screen reader supplied with Windows.
Other screen readers such as System Access and Jaws have some similarities but were in the long run, more tuned to reading any kind of program that had no intention of providing accessibility to screen readers in the first place.
NVDA and Narrator are more lightweight on the system and better suited for use with that system running the flight simulation.
We can set Narrator or NVDA modes to forced in the Setting page. Experiment with those settings when use of other screen readers are attempted. Ideal Flight will recognise SA and Jaws and select a preferred reader type NVDA or Narrator.
Otherwise, without a screen reader detected, Ideal Flight will appear as if any other program.
With Accessibility disabled the program is like any other. Since the program uses graphical components there will not be sufficient descriptions for simple screen readers.
With Accessibility Automatic, Narrator and NVDA modes are used when they are detected.
Uncheck Automatic to prefer NVDA, Narrator or Other. Check Other to detect SA, Jaws, NVDA and Narrator and presents Narrator mode.
