Some FDM stuff would like to be tied to the FDM update rate, and that's a desirable goal. What about a callback function then? The FDM subsystem would set /sim/signals/fdm-update, and you could attach a listener to that which does all the things that should interact with the FDM, such as AP, FCS, etc. The rest of Nasal would keep running with the frame rate.

There are several options, such as 1) Run a second events system and add an additional parameter to Nasal's settimer allowing you to use this new events system. 2) Add in a signal that is fired each simulation step, probably right before the Autopilot system is run.
