It doesn't really matter since you can just scale the units to fit almost any value. I'd use something smallish, just to keep the rest of the units within reasonable scales. Something between 0.001 and 0.01 sounds fitting for a function that's called a few hundred times a second.
edit: I think I used a timestep of 1 for orbital simulations
[QUOTE=neos300;28135986]So the time since the last frame?[/QUOTE]
Actually the time the last frame has taken. You use it as an estimate how long the execution of the current frame will take.
Alright.
I actually understand this now, I just have to figure out how to handle collision now...
[editline]18th February 2011[/editline]
So to add a gravity force you just apply a force of 3 (or so) every frame?
I hate to be "that guy" but doesn't this fit more into WDYNHW?
Still can't find something I am comfortable to program in.

I'm sure you'll find something eventually. What languages have you tried, and for how long?
Well, SFML was the best out of them all, but still didn't like it too much, I have tried:
SFML (not very long), SDL(One or two days), DirectX (And failed miserably), OpenGL(Day), LOVE(Yesterday), XNA ( I really don't like XNA) and thats about it.
*content was awful*
Oh and years ago I used gamemaker :v:

It was fine why snip it.
[QUOTE=Activeellis;28136472]It was fine why snip it.[/QUOTE]
Damn you! :(
It has no collision, no rockets of death, no cool stuff. Therefore its not worthy of this topic.
you rated yourself agree what
[QUOTE=Activeellis;28136472]It was fine why snip it.[/QUOTE]
I would snip that, tbh. I have no idea why but he obviously doesn't want it to be shown.

Noo its fine, it can stay for the comical value of how much I fail.

Quoted before fixed.
I fixed it! thank you very much, how is typing why drunk so much harder then programming drunk! it makes no sense!
I suddenly want a pancake.

Looked pretty cool to me.
The very fact that you have content put's you in like the top 5 percentile

Wait, what?
Honestly, this section of facepunch makes up for everything else of this community, there are no trolls here, no cunts, no one out just to mock other peoples creations.
So,
DEAR FACEPUNCH PROGRAMMING SECTION! I THANK YOU!
You are the only thing that makes me come back and check this community!
You are the only people that will help me with the smallest problem ever and help as much as you can without calling me an idiot or telling me to google it.
You share ideas and welcome the new people!
I couldn't ask for a better section of a forum.
Generally I would not report on ratings, but [url=http://i.cubeupload.com/wVdBMo.png]uhh[/url]

It's a pretty well-known glitch. Dunno what causes it, though.
