Thanks for the info Mike. I'm trying hard to resolve this without the need for a delay, or an extra file.
Been playing, as I do, and struggled to do exactly what I want. I added a damping effector, which stopped the bounce but won't give me a "banner" effect without playing with it's effect over time.
It did show something though. The problem seems to be caused initially by the fact that the starting angle is how the object was created. Is it possible to reposition it? I tried XROTATE'ing, but it didn't seem to work. Compared with the Rope bridge example, I'm at 90 degrees.
here's my current code (it will run as is), with the damping. I've attached extra points to clamp the damn thing down.
