My idea is about realistic look of airbourne crashes and generally in-air position. Currently, skis and jumper moves only when we decide to, so it can fly in a very weird position (like this) that a real jumper would not hold on. It looks very artificial. Real jumper would immediately try to correct its position by eg. by flailing his hands in circles. I'd like you to include a major change in controlling a jumper in flight.

Flailing of hands by jumpers seems to be necessary to achieve much more realistic impression of flight. But there is also one thing missing. Once moved up or down flight position would automatically continue moving with gradually decreasing speed in a specific direction until we'd do an opposed movement. If you push a mouse a little up, he will continue raising his skis until you push the mouse down - simple. :)

I may sound obscurely, but I'm not good in explaining this kind of theories.

Sugestions for Beta/Full Version

Post by kochanie3376 »

I think that adding some animation or after loading the hill after the World Cup added to a little beauty this game.Next thing is to add some new events , maybe Four Hills Tournament (TCS) etc. Maybe Career mode? : D

This idea about menu.
In menu it is necessary to click ,,Isolated competition`` and instead of world cup have Isolated competition . We are choosing the hill, and and instead of final table, only competition final results.
This idea it is possible to develop, for example. We have to choose 1Normal hill and Large Hill. This idea about The world championships in the Nordic skiing and The winter Olympics.
Maybe Ski flying championships, 4 series. :D

Im sorry, am rewriting, but better writing ni this topic.

well. i kinda miss frontflips ;)
that was better in beta 1.
another thing i still don't like is:
when you move the mouse down pretty fast and go a little to far, you wanna move the mouse up a little so you won't kill the jump, BUT! when you do so, the jumper not only moves his body upwards, but also 'dips' his feet to the front, so the tips of the skis go down. this is actually killing me, because you can't really do 'deadline jumping' like andreas widhölzl or joar ljoekelsoy did so.
in addition to the first point of my post, this could really make the game more attractive, cuz it provides a 'good jump or die' atmosphere ;)

what i would also like to see is even more realistic landing.
right now the jumper kinda has 'bones of steel', so you could land jumps that are rediculously long.
having breakable bones would exterminate this flaw and also add the possibility to add some statistics, like # of broken bones, # of deaths and so on (but the statistics thing is not really neccessary).

besides this, i'd like a 'single competition mode', so you don't have to check off all the other hills, when you just want to jump a single competition. or even a 'record hunting mode' with (for example in bad mitterndorf) 2m/s frontwind and gate 4 (or 5).

oh, and not to forget: i love the new gate system. makes wc competitions way more fun.

As we all know, we play offline a lot mostly to hunt a records. What about a kind of 'Record Hunting' mode? We choose a player and there is no Quali, 1st and 2nd round but just like in Practice - jumping over and over but with gate adjusted to weather conditions, just like in WC mode. This would save us from creating cloned players with our names what we do in WC mode to hunt our records. What do you think?

I know that player is always the same but some people would have his own jumper as well.

Maybe option like "quick jump"? I'm thinking about option, that you can choose level of CPU (from, easy, medium, hard), number of it (they will be called CPU1, CPU2), and some hills, then jump :). Sometimes I don't have much time to make a cup, and that option may be really good for me :).

What about "online panel" in the top right corner in menu? It may show you your PB, victories, defeats and some more options :).

For graphics:

- Please add 2 new textures like steel texture (Kulm) and wooden texture (Zakopane) on walls of the run-up.
- What about objects like camera on the run-up in Oberstdorf? ;)
- Maybe add little stairs or lighting (like in Zakopane) on the "floor" of the run-up?

Maybe a duel mode?
1 vs 1.

You can invite a player to the "duel". That player can accept or not.

Very good idea :)

What about adding 4x4 duels too? It can be something like "clan match" :D.

Players who jumped twice should be always higher than players who did only one jump.

Good:
