Great, thanks
The SFM, can it and the AFM both be installed and used as and when I wish?
ie. I want to fly with the AFM but I want to let my grandson fly with the SFM.

Still waiting for the torrent of World 1.2 to finish

Yes it is set in the options. The option during install simply sets that option in game after install, for you.

A bit of clarification - you get "assist" which is not SFM. It's AFM all the way.
But with assist, it's easier to handle.
