Temporarily minimize Automation?

Does anyone know if you can minimize Automation while its running? So far all i've found is to CTRL+ALT-DELETE and that screws up the game, forcing me to close it for being unresponsive.

It would be nice to minimize it without crashing, such as when i'm looking at a webpage to replicate an engine IRL or to look at the specs for a contest for example.

If you run the game in windowed mode, you can just click on another open program and do what you need to do :).

Although, even with the game in windowed mode, the game will still sometimes crash when you have it minimised for a certain amount of time. But I find that it is ok to minimise it for a few minutes and you can maximise again without any problems.

Well how do I run it in windowed mode? (Yes I seem to be that inept :shock: )

In the launcher menu, select "options", and select windowed mode for that screen.

Alright, thank you.
