I'd think the Flag animation 'could' be controlled for a speed effect in several different ways.
StateMachine, animation controllers as DivingDuck did for Animations of engines, vickers03's particals approach.

Off topic (sorry)

I know nothing about StateMachine controllers. Where are they used in stock SHIII/IV/5 and related mods? :hmm2:

Do they encompass weather state (fog, storms, etc.) or AI alert state (due to enemy spotting, collision avoidance, etc.) and can they be used for triggering a particle effect?

Well, it depends on your definition of 'limp flag'.

Even on a slow-moving vessel and with zero wind, a flag like this would be totally unrealistic. Something more like this maybe... :hmmm:

Right, see my earlier post's clip for an example. #8.

Good question ! :hmm2:

What do you think triggers effects inside your U-Boot?
Look at GraphFl_01.dat in the Library folder as an example.
