All national flags will be available in the next version.

I get more often a summer hill than a winter hill on March 24, so I moved the schedule a week forward to get rid of it (probably an extreme case of random, but still...).

I've noticed this, too. Not a big issue though, I think Jussi is just adjusting to global warming. :wink:

I know this would require quite a lot of work, but how likely is it that we'll see a simple career mode? Basically, you start off as a rookie jumper in a pre-defined "Continental cup"-schedule, and work your way to the world stage by doing well (and winning) competitions, and increasing your statistics as a result. Individual statistics could be simple: Take-off strength & technique, flight technique and landing strength&technique. Player gains XP from competition results. Maybe import some sort of "summer training" as well, where you train and compete in the summer GP. It might sound a little complicated, and I don't know how DSJ4's programming allows changes in physics, but I imagine it shouldn't be impossible. After all, it is possible to change AI ratings, so I don't see why this can't be done to the player as well.

That being said, I understand that it's not high on the priority list right know but just a suggestion for the future. After all, that's what this topic is for.

Another, simpler improvement would be some sort of a crowd voice. Higher volume for good jumps, and perhaps to local jumpers as well. Doesn't obviously need to be anything very high in detail, but it would really be appreciated.

Keep up the good work!

One thing to correct - textures. Sometimes on a few hills (Kussamo, Val di Fiemme) snow is too bright. If you can fix it - please do that, because my eyes are burning :P

You can lower the "gamma"-setting to counter that.

But I agree with you. On some hills, it's very hard to see because it's just too bright.

Lower gamma gives nothing, it must be fixed by Jussi ;)

I don't think it's that bad, sometimes you get way too bright snow in real life when it's really sunny :)

Stams
Thunder Bay
Whistler, which is demolished after Olympics
Calgary
Planica Large Hill (HS 145)
Einsiedeln, im missing it
Iron Mountain
Kranj
or Salt Lake city
