[Flightgear-devel] Running Nasal at simulation rate

2012-08-29 Thread Johnathan Van Why
I know this has been brought up before, but it's been a while so I'll bring it up again. I have a need to run Nasal code at the same rate as the simulation. Currently, without modifying the source code for FlightGear, the only way to do this is to find a property updated at the right time in the s
