[ODE] XODE - should angles be in degrees or radians?

radians it is then, 5 to 2.  

I understand degrees can be more human readable - but since ODE works in
radians it does make more sense that XODE use them.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Any other issues to raise before I update it again?

Will.
