[ad_1] LorenzoGatti said:even in the simple case JoeJ discusses, uniform gravity and initial velocity without angular momentum and without air resistanceAngular momentum does not affect the linear trajectory, but linear damping might a bit. If enabled, that’s the same as air resistance, so i would turn it off for the projectile body.It also depends on the integrator and timestep a lot ofc. I have used a physics engine with RK4 integrator, and the projectile followed the predicted parabola very precisely. For a distance of 100m, the error was in the range of centimeters.LorenzoGatti said:You have to simulate throwing the object,…

[ad_1] I like horror, I like bunnies, I like cool little games. Hey, y’here that, Rental? You’re alright, kid.
