Too early brake/wrong position of the fall line

Something which irritates me, is that the jumper begins to brake BEFORE the fall line. I've never seen any jumper do that in reality. So the jumper starts to brake way too early, and I think the distance to the fall line is too far...

You are correct, but I think that the distance to the fall line is to short.. Maybe I am wrong? I am not sure how long the distance should be from the HS to the fall line.

I think youre wrong. The problem is jumper speed - its slowed. I mean really slowed, compared to real jumper, feg take off. Its hardly noticed did jumper perform perfect take off, or not.
In dsj4 you can see that so simple.
Maybe jussi can say how jumper speed is compared to the real speed (because speed impression is bad).
In my opinion thats why jumper is reaching fall line breaking.

When comparing video of a real jump for instance in Lillehammer with a video of a DSJ4 jump, the same length, the time the jumper is in the air is very similar. But there is quite a big differrence between the time they are using from their landing to they cross the fall line.
