[ODE] Is a variable frame rate possible?

[Nguyen Binh]

What frame rate would you like to make variable?
If it's the actual physics time step then I have 2 anwsers:
+ Yes, technically you can, read the doc for how to change the time step.
+ No, you shouldn't do that.A fixed time step is quite crucial for a stable
ODE's app.
If what you want is just a variable FPS (graphics-related) the the answer is
definitely YES.
In this case you can have physics running at fixed rate of say 200Hz and
graphics varies from 40Hz-100Hz. So in order to sync graphics with physics,
in each graphics step need to run a number of fixed step size physics steps.
