Hi,
I understand that passing a high value for parameter "timestep" to the NewtonUpdate(world, timestep) function will increase the physics simulation speed for all physics objects in the world. I would like to ask whether it is possible to increase the physics simulation of just a single "Body" in the world. Basically I am trying to do a skill which I would like to increase the physics simulation of a cannon shot out from a tank.

not you can not simulate just one body.

But would be nice to have bullet-trace algorithms.

You can do Ray Traces and Convex Casts. They both however only go in a straight line.

You can do the raycasts in increments, moving towards the target and these segments could follow ballistics trajectory.
