"Limp" flag ?

[John Pancoast]

Any flag .anim, etc that has the flag more or less just hanging, i.e., no or little breeze vs the always fluttering standard one ?

I suppose I could change the meshanimation data.........as long as doing so just didn't make the flag straight out stiff.

If no breeze, you don't need any animation... Just joking. A non moving flag would just look odd...

Not at all. If you think about it, the only time it should be displayed is leaving/entering port which equals slow speed and low winds normally.

It waving when there is no or little wind/boat speed to speak off is what looks oddd. It should be hanging loose, not fluttering away more often than not per above.
I've messes with trying to make it so but it's beyond my skill level.

If, you do (as I do) leave dock.. just as the guys back then did... (no transporter capability then... mind you.... leave Star Trek, to... well... start trek realm aka uni... or light speed hyperjumps... that's star wars territory... & just as with star trek... best left there. )

Any who...

A flag, flapping about as if there's a stiff breeze, when the conditions don't warrant it... aka very slight to no wind blowing... well... that flag flapping about, looks outright... ridiculous to see it flapping about.

Now, after getting under weigh.... is an altogether different matter... & then, the flag... if it is set up to be visible, while in port... or even sailing about... (which is why I loved that ability to hit a set hot keys commands... shift+f to set the flag or to stow it away...) then seeing it flapping about, based on what the wind speeds/conditions are, makes perfect sense.

John, has a grand idea... & would love to see that idea brought to fruition.

No big deal, definately low priority. Maybe if I mess with the animation a bit more to slow it up a little that would do.
