<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Confirmed</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>10</i></li></ul><p>We get an aerodynamic force when air approaches what is usually the outer face of the flag, but not the inner face. Strange physics, but consistent with the numbers in partDatabase.cfg that show the +Z face having some area, −Z face zero area.</p>
<p>If anyone wants to remove the effect right now, we can with a Module-Manager Patch<br /><pre>
@PART[flag*] {
%DRAG_CUBE {
cube = default, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0
