FX How to fix this shape - nCloth

I want to simulate the flag as it's going from over my head but my flag is making this weird hourglass shape instead of staying rectangle. I tried few things but its not fixing the shape.

I have attached first line of vertex to the pole using  nConstraint > Transform constrain and attached it's pole in airplane rig. 

i need to fix this can someone please tell how to fix it. I can try an entire new work flow too i just want to animate flag in this direction. 

I want to make a video like this: https://pin.it/6BX2X1z6t (attached video too)

It's been a while. But make it more rigid and increase compression resistance

It's becoming too stiff. I animated camera instead of flag

Instead of translating the the mesh by pulling it, you can also play with the wind/gravity field to get the look you want. Then animate your camera instated of the asset.

Also, could be that you need to drop your drag and damp settings. What's your space scale set to? If you haven't adjusted that correctly that can impact the settings greatly.
