Description

Version: 0.90.0.0 beta (build id = 00705), Linux 64-bit
Mods: none (never modded)

In map view, when a ship's engines are running, the volume of the engine sound effect varies in a manner that has no relation to the current engine thrust or ship position.

To reproduce:

1. Start a new Sandbox game.
2. Click on the launchpad and select the Kerbal X ship to launch.
3. Press T to enable SAS and Z to set the throttle to 100%.
4. Press the spacebar twice to launch the ship.
5. Press the spacebar to separate each pair of boosters as they run out of fuel (at around T+14, T+31, and T+52 seconds).
6. Press M to switch to map view after the last pair of boosters has been separated.
7. Listen to the engine volume over a period of time.

Expected behavior: The engine sound remains constant.

Observed behavior: The engine sound slowly decreases in volume, then after 20-25 seconds, it suddenly returns to full volume before starting to decrease in volume again.

Still present in 1.1.3, though when following the listed steps, the time before the engine sound jumps to full volume in map view is shorter (around 10 seconds).
