#317: High Wind Flags At A Distance

[risen2conquer]

I love the Canadian flags that have been put into the game! Fills me with much Canadian patriotic pride. Good job everyone.

I have a small issue to report with them though, not sure if it's something you want to look into but I thought it was worth mentioning. It seems that the flag animation is set to trigger once the player is a certain distance from it, which is cool, I'm sure it helps with the whole lag issue bit. However, until the player is actually close enough to the flag for it to start flapping, it appears frozen in a fully extended 200 km/hr winds state. It would probably look more realistic if the non-animated state was more of a 0 km/hr wind state of limpness. Just a thought for improvement of realism.

You're right -- we only simulate the flags if they are within a certain range of the camera. It's a very good suggestion to have the "non animated" state be collapsed. Opened as ticket #317.
