|1= I should still have an old topic branch that disabled FGNasalSys entirely - i.e. the fg_init.cxx, but also the roughly ~10 places where a handle (pointer) to the FGNasalSys instance in the SGSubsysmMgr is acquired to run some Nasal code on demand (think GUI, joystick, keyboard, AI/scenery stuff). | |||
In and of itself, that will obviously not be particularly useful, because fgfs is rather "crippled" with so much of its (current) UI/aircraft functionality tied to Nasal code all over the place, but it may still be interesting for the FGPythonSys effort, because it provides a good baseline for fgfs performance without _any_ Nasal code running at all, including obviously GC issues - even if only to illustrate (and prove) that FlightGear is still suffering from resource leaks and race conditions that have nothing to do with Nasal. | |||
In other words, this is something where FGPythonSys and FGNasalSys could benefit eachother in the near term, while providing benefits for FG in the long term. | |||

|1= that could be quite useful for experimentation purposes, unit testing, and maybe coming up with a [[Talk:FGPythonSys#FGNasalSys vs FGPythonSys - common baseclass|FGScriptingSys base class]]. | |||
