Hi Erik, I noticed the same thing about a week ago while upgrading an application from osg 1.0 to 2.4. It was on my list of things to look into.

Setting the rotational speed with (0, 0, 1): OSG 2.2.0 - particles rotate like fans (pinwheels) OSG 2.4.0 - particles rotate like a margarita blender (cork-screw) OSG 2.6.0 - particles rotate like a margarita blender (cork-screw) I guess I'm just wondering if this is the expected behavior? And I'm surprised nobody has a problem with this.

Use svn log to check which files have changed. Robert.
