If you find a way to configure your joystick or generic switch to emulate a key press (CTRL+12), and ten switches to control the menu choices from 0 to 9 emulating keyboard 0 to 9, it should work.

Also, you can try this software:

That allows to control FSX AND GSX with voice commands.

None of our software requires or uses FSUIPC.

Since we use only one key and the 0-9 keys are already recognized by FSX as its standard keys, isn't easier to emulate such key presses with the software that comes with your joystick ? Assuming you are using a joystick, but anything else that can generate a key press should work.

I don't know what that is. It can be used with any hardware that can be configured to generate a keypress, usually with the software that comes with the hardware, for example, the SerialFP KeyMapper for VR Insight mcp / cdu.
