@up Yeah, big falls would be awsome!
Like that:

Why there's no thing like that in game? Is there any chance for it?

In qualifications, include a before-jump notification not only how many is required to lead, but how many to qualify That's even more important.
In stats of the first round, include the 'q' mark when jumper is already qualified.

When your friend sends a message online chat, it should be different colour than yellow!!

Yesterday there was 80 people online and it is really hard to see when your friend is speaking.


There should be two chats online: INTERNATIONAL and FIN (or player's own country)

I dont need to see polish/german/norwegian people talk their own language when i dont understand word of it... It would be better if there was chat for same nationals..

I'm still not sure if the flight altitude is correct in Planica - in my opinion it's too high.

Suggestion: Save game after Qualification round.
Reason: It sucks, if you've e.g. 73 jumpers and then real life intervenes, that you can't play first or second round and all you have done the last 20+ minutes is obsolete.

Suggestion: Display, who qualifies for the final round.
Reason: In competition with 50 or more jumpers sometimes its hard to see who will or won't be qualified. Something like in qualification, a q or Q could help.

Suggestion: [Optional function] Sum up points immediately
Reason: If I play 22 hills or if I try to fake some Four Hills Tournament or Sky Flying World Championships and activated the option "points per jump", I can't see the actual standing after e.g. Round 1 on Hill 4. That's a little bit annoying, because on Fake-4 Hills I don't have a clue, who still has a chance to win after the leading one crashes... or something like that.

First of all: DSJ4 is amazing! Great work, Jussi!

Here are some ideas for the upcoming versions:
1. Of course, it has already been mentioned for several times: CPU Jumpers. DSJ without them feels "wrong". ;)

2. When you're a newbie, playing online isn't quite as much fun as it could be - the level in the "world cup" is incredibly high. I would like to see some kind of "Continental Cup" for players, who have less than 900 points. Otherwise, most online competitions basically consist of a lot of waiting and that's frustrating for less skilled players.

3. An "auto ready" option for online play would be cool, because it could possibly speed up the whole process by a lot.

4. I don't know, if the game engine is allowing something like this: It would be cool, if you were able to "overlay" 2 replays, so you could compare your own jump with the world record and easily see the crucial mistakes.

Copyrights. Sing it by yourself, more imagination, more fun :P

Haha, yes, judging from game FX made with mouth, surely.

Here's my solution: download it, run in Winamp in no-repeat mode, set global hotkeys (default r-alt+ins for play action) and press them after a good jump or during a replay in slow motion.

But you're not Polish like me, you don't have to be sly to stay alive, that's forgiving. ^^

Ideas and suggestions for the next version:
- The Start gate at Kuusamo should be slightly higher
- The wind should alternate during the competitions
- Put some music in the main menu and during the competitions(as an optional choice in the settings).

Any music would get really boring and annoying once heard 100 times. It's better let the players choose their own music.

Hey Jussi, is it possible to do a commentary of jumps? Like in Fifa or something like that ;)
