Henri,
Does your consistency issue have anything to do with the earlier
"Reset" question? I also wanted a quick way to reset the initial
conditions of a simulation, and I liked your solution of just
resetting the positions, quaternions, linear and angular velocities.
So I tried that out over the weekend. I found that after resetting,
although all the positions and velocities were correct (as i set
them), the simulation proceeded differently. Is there something else
that I need to reinitialize?
