Yes, more or less - PistonEngine.cpp seems to be seeing it, and you can see the boost going up and down with the throttle setting, but the power isn't which seems to eliminate the typo theory. > My only suggestion is to look harder for a typo or somesuch; make sure > the property you are setting is the one you are reading. I had a typo at one stage: I eliminated that one. I've eliminated the nasal code by substituting a single value for "/controls/engines/engine[0]/boost-control".

Well, I'll just have to eliminate all possibilities one by one. I think PropEngine.cpp is a likely candidate, but I haven't had time to look in depth yet. I'm very keen to make this work: it looks like the right way to proceed.
