No I agree, we shouldn't be mixing policy and capability up like this.
These things should be set at an application level according to individual
user preference, it always turns into a big mess when an aircraft author
tries to change global settings from within an aircraft.  It also leads to
support problems if this changes a users default and they wonder why wild
fire isn't working any more.

Gerard, why don't you just turn wild fire off for yourself globally, rather
than sneaking a hidden application bomb into your aircraft?

Regards,

Curt.
