Hi
Is there still an issue? If so, maybe I can help solve it.
Can you post your latest revision of the code, and the exact error?
Kind Regards,
Josh

Hi Josh,
So far this is what I have. I have to add that the improvement in the toggling is still present, but it doesn't adjust the mixture with altitude yet. I've been remming out lines so it's a bit of a hash. I'm still getting a console complaint about the last line of code being a parse error, it always calls the last line. I'm not sure I should be using the " return 0;' on the altitude/mixture table functions.
Code: Select all
#### Set Diesel idle level/cutoff with throttle position and mixture with altitude.
var pos_throttle = props.globals.getNode("controls/engines/engine[0]/throttle");
var pos_mixture = props.globals.getNode("controls/engines/engine[0]/mixture");
var pos_gear = props.globals.getNode("gears/gears[1]/wow");
var pos_alt = props.globals.getNode("instrumentation/altimeter/pressure-alt-ft");
setlistener("/controls/engines/engine[0]/throttle", func {
var throttle = pos_throttle.getValue();
if (throttle >= 0.05) { pos_mixture.setValue(1.0); return 0; }
if (throttle > 0) { pos_mixture.setValue(0.068); return 0; }
pos_mixture.setValue(0);
});
#### Set mixture to alt level
setlistener("/gears/gears[1]/wow", func {
var gear = pos_gear.getValue();
if (gear = false) { pos_gear.setValue(1.0); return 0;
if (gear = true) { pos_mixture.setValue(1.0); return 0;
var alt = pos_alt.getValue();
var mixture = "controls/engines/engine[0]/mixture";
if (alt >= 15000) { pos_mixture.setValue(0.59); return 0;
## }
## if (getprop(alt) < 15000) {
## setprop (mixture, 0.59);
## }
if (alt >= 10000) { pos_mixture.setValue(0.71); return 0;
## }
## if (getprop(alt) < 10000) {
## setprop (mixture, 0.82);
## }
if (alt >= 5000) { pos_mixture.setValue(0.84); return 0;
## }
## if (getprop(alt) < 5000) {
## setprop (mixture, 0.94);
## }
if (alt > 3000) { pos_mixture.setValue(0.91); return 0;
## }
var MixtureInit = func {
var AltInit = func {
settimer(env_effects, 2);
settimer(mixture_loop, 3);
settimer(alt_loop, 3);
# Delay startup a bit to allow things to initialize
# }

Hi
Of the last line is giving a parse error, it usually means you forgot a " somewhere.
Code: Select all
var mixture = "controls/engines/engine[0]/mixture";That wont work
try
Code: Select all
var mixture = getprop("controls/engines/engine[0]/mixture");Kind Regards,
Josh

I think I've got it solved thanks to Josh's hints. Thanks again
I just need to fine tune the optimum base mixture for altitude with this weird engine. Normally, most Diesels don't have a throttle plate or air restriction across their intake and they run purely on the metered amount of Diesel oil fuel injected into the cylinder. I think you can throttle an IC recip engine in either YAsim or JSB-sim by leaving the throttle wide open and cutting back on the mixture, and it won't overheat or go into pre-detonation like in real life gasoline engines would.

No problem.
Any further problems, feel free to ask.
In my JSB props, I use a FCS overwrite to control mixture.
Kind Regards,
Josh

So after a week or so of tinkering with the Nasal file I've decided that the Nasal solution is kaput. I can reasonably make this idea work with some changing around of the YASim FDM parameters and keep this change entirely within the FDM's .xml file.
This is a great thing, I've also been able to do the same for a nasty helicopter FDM nasal, the less nasal calls within FG in my old Win XP OS the better.
And it all works great, there none of the Nasal's at-cross-purposes interference with each setting, and the engine runs like a true Diesel with pretty good power and fuel economy at altitude.
