The length of the jump has no direct influence to the style points in DSJ4. The judges are evaluating the aerodynamics of the flying position as they should. But obviously in real competitions it's much easier for the judges to tell if the flying position was optimal based on the actual length than by observing the ski jumper's postures.philipez wrote:question for jussi: does the length of the jump have any influence on the style points?
i have just read the international competition rules and there is no direct indication that the length of the jump should have any influence on the style points. but some could say the jump wasn't good in a "style point way" if the jumper only reaches 70% of the hill size. i think that is also what we see in reality. therefore i would like to have this implemented, because as far as i have noticed, i don't think the jump lenght has any influence on the style points.
for example: jump lenght 90% or more of hill size -> max points 20.0
jump lenght 80% to 90% of hill size -> max points 19.0
i think severin could give us additional information (if he wants to)
That's one of the issues that the judges in beta-2 are neglecting. They evaluate the timing of the landing based on how long it took to land - not on how much longer you could have jumped.alexander wrote:that's odd. I can get 20s when jumping 20m below the K-point, as long as I start my telemark early enough.
Everything affects everything.piter_ski wrote:Jussi, theoretically, if you put to the game different styles (V, II) would it affect aeorodynamics or is it only an optical change?

i know but its hard to make with paintbulwa11 wrote: yeah looks good, except the twigs that are messed up should be smaller (in reality I think they are parts of twigs from lines that have been cut off by skis so they should be smaller)
