• 7 new hills (Engelberg HS137, Kuopio HS127, Lillehammer HS100, Val di Fiemme HS106, Val di Fiemme HS134, Willingen HS145, Zakopane HS134)
• Oberstdorf HS213 included to demo version
• online team cup mode
• jump statistics (number of jumps, percentage of falls, average style and average length)
• easier landing (more balance + more power in legs)
• reduced sideways movement of the ankle (affects mostly the landing, small effect to flying in some circumstances)
• rejoin the online game lobby automatically after exiting online competition
• possibility to leave the online game after any round without losing extra rating (if you didn't qualify for the following round)
• show the names of the jumpers and the individual points/positions in the offline team cup stats
• show the name of the next jumper in the offline team cup stats
• pause the offline team cup stats after each group of jumpers has finished
• possibility to adjust mouse sensivitity during the jump (Ctrl +/-)
• realistic ranges in distance numbering on each hill
• improved network handling at the client side (could prevent disconnects)
• show the name of the country and the national flag in the hill info
• show difference to default gate in practice mode
• remember the hud settings between the jumps
• included camera platform to Lillehammer HS138
• clarified some error messages
• less repetitive wood texture
• minor adjustments to the menu layout

I thought Planica was different. Isn't it?

The only difference is that the distance numbering starts now at 80 meters instead of 110 meters.

Is it possible to add camera platforms (or to mark it somehow) on other hills? Then, players could place there camera and watch replays as in TV. Now, they can do it too, but it's not easy to find an accurate place.

Landing is too easy now... It should be a little bit difficult, but easier than in the previous versions

No! Now is the best!

Right! And more realistic!

I have a problem why cpu players can not jump on all the hills

I agree. The jumper holds telemark at all costs which caused excessive falling in the previous versions due to lack of balancing power, and now the power is a bit over the top. Best fix would be the jumper giving up a badly balanced telemark in order to save the jump, but I imagine that's difficult to program at this stage.

I think it would be problematic to make the landing harder again, because all the new records would have be annulled.
Maybe the landing is a little easy now, but it's certainly better than before in my opinion. Statistically it's much more accurate now, how often do you see jumpers falling in real competitions? Maybe one or two per competition max, which is pretty much the case now. Not like a third of all jumpers as in Kulm in verion 1.2 . But I do like Risto's idea.

Mr. Jussi I have an idea for the next version of dsj 4
I would like to before each competition may be selected participants

So, what you are gonna do to v1.4?
