New Terrain is killer for color blind people
« Reply #15 on: February 07, 2003, 04:45:22 PM »
i have just started building a braile terrain, I am the same as some of the minority here. I am colour blind too,

You will need a force feed back stick to appreciate my design. I am hoping that HTC will creat a new terrain for us "colour challenged"  people.

Having spoken to HT it seems quite easy for a few of us to get involved (least I think so, dots and dashes look the same to me sometimes).

HTC have agreed to enable us to choose our primary colours, so what may look like silver to a normal person will appear pink (or blue, or red etc, HTC will enable a check box selection to be made) to us.

wtg HTC and ...----  -  -  to every one --se w-. he-p-d

Fortunately HTC gave us custom icon colors.  They do love us colorblind peeps.  :)

You colorblind  people should fly in wide circles close to the gound to train your inferior vision....  Better do it with gear & flaps down  to fully exploit ground effect. ;)

Thanks for the color blind test even though I got the first one right, I kicked my cat, spilled my beer and farted at the same time when the last one came up.  Thanks, now the cats will run everytime I sit down.  LOl too funny

I have a red/green colour blindness deficiency, and I'm not struggling with this map.

I might be an "inferior" human being, but at least I'm not on crack.

Thanks m8, I am red, green brown color deficient as I like to say.  I guess in time I will get adjusted but right now I find the going rather difficult.

All you color blind people should just leave now. You can not possibly obtain the Medical cert you need to fly so it is hopeless for you, just go:p
