They do Jeff; SH5 flags are keyframe-animated meshes just like SHIII and SHIV

Have you checked the object_float controller? I have experimented with it in SHIII on a particle-generator-spawned object and it works like a charm. I am not sure that it will work as well on an object which is part of a sea unit, but I think it is worth a try.

cool but... a well-trimmed sail shouldn't flutter/flap in any notable way

Two minesweepers, coaster, two tramp steamers and a ferry.

All ships on this screenshot are done modeling, texturing, and three of them are already in game and ready. Working on importing remaining three and then I'm planning to relase an update.

I might be able to squeeze a fishing boat into it of other work goes fast, but as it requires new texture set (or several, for variants), I might save it for next update.

I see some amazing stuff cooking for us
