[ODE] dWorldStep problem.....

[Sandeep KL]

It did look like a precision error to me too. Is there any sample or 
something that i can download which is an ODE implementation for D3D?? 
Something very simple and straight forward.....Anyways, i shall create a D3D 
implementation of it separately, and shall upload it.....and give u the 
link......so that u could try it out.....and perhaps track the error!

The wierdest part to this -
This Code that i implemented is from the FreeFall Buggy Sample. It works 
JUST FINE there and behaves differently in my code. Why is that? I have 
provided a fixed step size in both environments....compiled with the same 
libraries, and used the same headers......and yet it screws up. It really 
beats me.....because ODE is behaving differently.....and apparently, the 
buggy sample also uses Direct3D!

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
