Hmm every time have to look in documentation i go by this function and i dont know what the hell is inverse mass... -> NewtonBodyGetInvMass
Google doesnt give me any good answers.

Any answer on this black hole like, function will be apreciated.

if mass = 10

invMass = 1/10

teh reason fo teh funtion is that you may have a body with mass zero,
if you dicve you get infinity, in newton 1/0 = 0 when it come to mass and inertia.
