[Opensim-users] Turning gravity on for one object

Umm, this is completely consistent with SL.  A flexible object is always
phantom and cannot be physical. Flexies are managed by the client
whereas physical prims are managed in the simulator.   

If you creat a prim in SL and click on flexible path then it will be
made phantom and physical is grey-ed out.  

It might be nice to have a combination like this but I think its outside
the scope of whats possible with SL compatible viewers.
