[ODE] move body and encapsulated objects in ODE

[rosa777]

Hallo,
i have the same problem:-( i want to make Y-Up so i set the gravity like you
said   0,-9.82,0 but nothing chang Z still Up and every thing gravate to
Y-axis....what should i do to change the ODE 's world to right haned so that
i can bind it with opensg!

thanks in advance
