Sims include ambipolar diffusion and outflow feedback. Find that ~1% of the magnetically critical gas is turned into stars per local free-fall time. This slow star formation takes place in only marginally supersonic condensations, suggesting that magnetic fields are primarily responsible for SF regulation, rather than turbulence.
