hi community, some times ago i've got a pretty simple task - make a waving flag, you know,cloth object, solver, wind force. Buuut, in h15 cloth become a little strange. Wind force do some strange stuff with fem cloth, btw in tutorial “waving flag” http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.0/cloth/flagin [sidefx.com] help suggests to use wind force but in here http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.0/cloth/influencing_cloth [sidefx.com] sfx told :“You should not use the Wind Force DOP or any of the other forces in DOPs because they will generate inferior results compared with the Air Drag model.”. Okay, buut when i tryed to use External Velocity Field it didnt work, after that i found this: http://forums.odforce.net/topic/24155-forces-in-dops/ [forums.odforce.net] and http://forums.odforce.net/topic/17556-cloth-arbitrary-vel-field/. [forums.odforce.net] So external velocity doesn't work too, according that, i have not any working wind force? Or i had missed something?

In a second way i need an advice about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11GUii0MKvM [youtube.com] i've got alot of troubles with flags locating at the top of the mast . How to make close enough simulations? In this tread i found a lot of old good setups but, they dose not work in houdini 15, or i do something wrong? Thanks for help
