Will air resistance ever be brought back?

[joebersons (joeberson)]

I am having a hard time finding the most fitting solution to my ‘ball not slowing down’ problem. People have suggestion a couple of things to try, but none of them fit the bill. Its a little annoying considering that this problem wouldn’t have ever existed if air resistance didn’t get removed.

Any chance of seeing it returning in the future?

I don’t remember air resistance being a thing within the last 11 years. You can simulate it (without aerodynamic effects) by adding an upward force to falling objects with a magnitude proportional to the vertical speed.

Angular Damping or Rotating Parts Slowing Down

Hey devs! We will be reducing the damping on rotating objects. This is a property of rotating bodies that reduces their rotational velocity as if there was air resistance. Basically we want to get rid of that fake air resistance or at least dramatically reduce it (you can fake air resistance with the new body movers if you need to). Here is our current behavior: You can see that the object rapidly slows done and stops. This is our planned behavior: The parts keep on rotating without sl…

In the announcement you linked, they said this:

(you can fake air resistance with the new body movers if you need to)

@Defaultio’s solution is exactly that:

Try throwing a BodyAngularVelocity in the ball with AngularVelocity 0, 0, 0 and MaxTorque tuned to the resistance you want.
