It's an annoyance to me as well, from the standpoint that sometimes I forget to unpause. Then I wonder why my planes aren't moving on their patrols.
My wish would be that it automatically unpauses when you close the viewer.

During most all time doesnt happen anything and whereas you can go doing different things while the time running. If you want pause the game for no miss anything do it.

Regards

Let me preface this by stating that I am not a programmer or coder or associated with Matrix games and I assume no responsibility for any issues that may result from this action.

I am only a CMANO/CMO enthusiast sharing a solution to the "database pauses game" issue that I was given a while back.
*****

Go to your CMO main folder and open the "Config" folder.

You will find a "Command" file.

Ensure to make a copy of the "Command" config file PRIOR to modifying it and save it somewhere safe just in case you make a mistake. Please be careful when modifying this file to avoid creating a huge headache for yourself.

Open the command file in a text editor like wordpad or notepad. I think you need to make sure that "word wrap" is on, so its easier to read.

Scroll down until you find the line:
"PauseOnDBView = True"

Change the value so that the line reads:
"PauseOnDBView = False"

Save the file and run Command.

You should be able to access the database entries without the simulation pausing in the background.

PauseOnDBView = True

Amend to read:

PauseOnDBView = False

Save. Close. Play.

Status: offline 		After I made that post about it, I started digging around in the game folder and I finally remembered and just re-edited my message here to reflect that.

As I posted my edited message, I realized you'd already answered my original question and solved the issue. :D LOL!

Thank you Randomizer!
