Choosing units

0.06m and 9.8?

0.06m and 9.8m/s or 6cm and 980cm/s.

I was just a question about if the engine prefers numbers that are not too small such as 0.06.

For now I am using my measurements in meters.

Newton support little objects but you have more chances to get in trouble if you go with too much little objects.
I think it is better stay at around 0.1 and higher.
Already 0.1 start to become very little in my experience.
Here 1.0 is the standard for a box and 0.5 for a sphere at equivalent size.
With the box I try to never go under 0.2
I'm not sure if it change something about the size if you use single precision or double.
My engine is not ready for use double precision.

Ok that's the kind of info that I was looking for. Since I scaled my stuff to meters I will continue for now with that and see.
