well,whats the advantage of Newton physics over the default gamestudio physics ?
sorry for the utter newbiness !
I like good 'views' because they have no 'strings' attached..

3DGS physics don't need to be implemented, so their easier to use, but (IMO) Newton physics are MUCH better. However, Newton physics don't support polygon collision, 3DGS does... Pro's and Con's

Another downside I found with Newton. Loading large levels. 3DGS already knows the level, so it doesn't take any extra time for physics. Newton has to load the map. With my majorly unfinished castle, it's still unloadable (after 20 mins i gave up). However, with a simple hollow cube and the same script attached to the level, it worked just fine.
...very dissapointed.

But, aren't they really frustrating to implement (at least to physics noobs like myself )?
I'm not using Newton (I have it though), but I just wanted to clarify so that if I do use it, I'll know what I'm in for.
void main()
{
cout << "I am MrCode,";
cout << "hear me roar!";
system("PAUSE");
}

So far, yes. However, I havn't tested it on any other lavels than that one. This only occurs when using block levels though. Models load rather quickly.
Newton has to convert the block shapes into its own format for reading, which is compiled into the class file (*.cls)
