The flag disappear when using setFlagSide on the flagpole if the player take it. Or when using setFlagOwner.

In earlier versions of the game (OFP, Arma, Arma II), calling "setFlagOwner player" would cause the flag to appear visually on the back of the player model.
This no longer happens in Arma 3.
Simple repro mission attached (setflagownerbug.stratis.zip) . Preview the mission in the editor and switch to 3rd person. After 10 seconds "theFlag setflagowner player" is called. You can see the flag come down the pole.
Expected - the flag should then appear on the player's back.
Actual - the flag disappears completely.

And if the player with the flag was in a vehicle the flag also appeared visually on the vehicle, which is also gone in Alpha 3.

it is said not be a scripting (command) problem, yet the model's are missing the flag definition (or its an engine problem altogether)

Come on lovely BI guys.
You are letting a whole game-mode's crowd with a *space-ball above their headz instead of our beloved flag.
