Need to disable change of fairings in Editor

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm updating Kronal Vessel Viewer for 1.2.1, and have made a lot of progress.

However, I'm stumped when working with the stock fairings.  Specifically, when in the editor, and you move the mouse over a fairing, it explodes and becomes opaque.

I've figured out that using the following functions will manually set the exploded view and opacity, my problem is that the game seems to constantly update and reset them no matter where the mouse is:

p.SetExplodedView(VesselViewConfig.fairingPanelValueParam);
p.SetTgtExplodedView(VesselViewConfig.fairingPanelValueParam);
p.SetOpacity(0);
p.SetTgtOpacity(0);

I can probably remove the two SetTgt... functions, but that's not my issue.

So for now, I have a LateUpdate function which constantly sets the values while in the Editor.  It works, kindof, but is kludgy, also the opacity of the fairings flickers.  Is there any way to disable the game from constantly setting those values?

I've even tried using the following:

InputLockManager.SetControlLock(ControlTypes.All, "KVV");
EditorLogic.fetch.Lock(true, true, true, "KVV");

Thanks in advance

If I'm not mistaken, the module won't receive LateUpdate unless it is enabled.  So you could set

Part.FindModuleImplementing<ModuleProceduralFairing>().enabled = false;

(abbreviated for clarity)

That in itself is a bit hacky too though.
