hi,


while it might make sense to pause the game, you could easily do that by opening the options menu and have the game stop while you're in every other view than the main view.

why do i have to click the stop-button?
why doesn't it do that automatically once i click "Office" (or any other button opening another view) and reenables the simulation once i close the office view? instead a popup notifies me that i have to hit the other button first -- really a bad thing usabilitywise Sad

currently this is a required restriction on the vb concurrent task system (vb timer), sorry I cannot change it that easy without introducting of strange behaviors
But its on the list of todo and hope we find a solution on this.
