What do you mean "make it heavier"? There's the facility to do this in
Clothray, but not in Cloth Simulator I think. Possibly viscosity has
something to do with it (so many variables, not enough time to experiment
with them all :-( )  I think it's more to do with the -s step value that is
used to simulate time passed between frames. This has to be adjusted to
compliment wind speed etc. IMO, in your anim, things happened a little too
quickly. It is difficult to get it right though.. I often end up with slow
motion cloth.

It is odd, as the wind was blowing directly along the z (y in Cloth) axis,
and the cloth was perpendicular to it, so no twisting should have occurred.

I suspect this is related to the bug that Jerome has possibly fixed, where
the cloth becomes attatched to the surface of a collision object, or, as has
just happened to me, becomes attatched to 'thin air'.
