> Thanks for the link.  It's nice to see the proliferation of rigid body
simulators but I thought Si Brown's Freefall buggy demo using ODE was nicer
than the NovodexTruckDemo.  There seem to be some problems with the novodex
wheels.  When they hit the walls and objects they turn at a different angle
than the inputs which makes it unresponsive very difficult to control.  And
the frame rate was pretty low (<30) for a small world on a GeForce3 1.6Ghz
machine.

Maybe you should report those problems to them, then ? After all, it's
off-topic :)

Now, the low framerate probably comes from something else : I don't have a
1.6 Ghz machine (*) and the framerate was always ~85 FPS (that is, the limit
they fixed).
