'Simulate in Background' and 1.1 Loading Screen

[Stone Blue]

I dont know if any one else noticed, but with 1.1, if you DONT want KSP to run in the background if you switch windows, now the game also DOES NOT LOAD, while focusing on a different window... So, so much for surfing the web, or playing MS Solitaire while it takes 15 mins for your heavily modded install to load.
Either you have to stay focused on the loading screen, and go do something NOT on your computer while you wait, OR you HAVE to have KSP run in the background if you switch windows during gameplay, OR you have to go into the Settings menu EVERY time you start your game, AND EVERY time before you CLOSE your game to switch the setting...

Squad, if possible, PLEASE make the Simulate in Background setting ONLY affect gameplay, and NOT game loading like it always has been pre-1.1...

Yep, noticed this as well. Very strange.

I'm pretty sure there was a bug report for that.  There was definitely a thread for it in the PR forums.

I just leave simulate in background on, personally, it's not too hard to hit escape to pause the game, and I often like to watch the ships circle in orbit while I post a message or whatever.

Also, the fewer settings changes I make, the less I have to do after a clean install.

 Can you post in ModuleManager thread so I don't forget about it ? I ll add something to force the value until the main menu
