Hi
To help with timestep issues in your terminal output the last word
outputted per model tells you whats limiting the timestep, search for that
inside controls.defaults to find the control responsible

http://mesa.sourceforge.net/controls_defaults.html#timestep_controls

I don't quite follow whats happening with the photos. Is the filename
wrong? or is the model it loads wrong?
