[ODE] camera flight

[Michael Scharvogel]

Thanx Allen but I had tried this with the same effect. In every Simulation
step I queried this value in the same way.
But unfortunately I always received the same value. I thought the reason for
this to be the const return value (as I always seem to get the position
where I generated the body). therefore I tried the RelPos Thing, but didn't
succeed...


Can anyone help me ???
