Hello,

I made a function to get a very good constant frame rate (I calculate a delay using windows api QueryPerformanceCounter() and QueryPerformanceFrequency(). So now I have 60 FPS.
Now the problem is I'm using DarkPhysics, and it seems that if I delay the program to fit 60fps, physics objects go as a "replay".
I think there should be a method to setup internal physics timer, or similar thing.
How can I do it? I want good physics (fast) at 60fps.

Thank you for your help.

New info:

I tried to use the function "phy set auto fixed timing" but seems that I'm walking on the moon! Gravity seems very low, and general movement go slowly.

Try to put this in your main loop.
