Scientific paper

A simple re-scaling of velocities calculated from the Paczy{\'n}ski \& Wiita
(1980) pseudo-Newtonian potential makes them consistent with special relativity
and greatly improves the agreement with the exact relativistic calculations.
The improvement is relevant in calculations of the Doppler effect, spectra and
radiation transfer which all involve effects of special relativity.
