i like if all games engine have the wind direction vector and force intensity wind.

When I was working on a 3D animated feature film back in 2007, I once got a 3D model for a car sent to me for approval. (i was art director). We opened the car in Max and saw an insane amount of polygons. After some searching we tracked that amount down to the little metal tube which attaches the rear mirror to the door of the car. That little tube had 40,000 polygons.

What you are asking with your flags moving due to wind is the equivalent of the little tube. An insane amount of processing power concentrated in an insanely small spot.
