I don't know if the wind is manipulated, I'm quite sure that the jumps are made with slowdown, but if I look at the WRs in 1.5 made without bug (they were also made with slowdown AND partial with incredible wind (due to the rotating wind problem)).
Josef jumped longer than the old records on both hills, so these are of course good jumps (japan about 2 meters longer than matej jeznik in 1.5)
the main aim must be impossibility to use slowdown in the game. Seems like the only solution, or to allow it again (imho the wrong, the absolutely wrong thing to do, as I like the game as it is now...)
It would be nice to know how many people still use Win98, because if it's a small percentage of the total players, why not just make the game only for XP and Vista?
AFAIK slowdown only is possible on Win98, and it can't be that hard to block it for Win98 , can it? (I really don't know, I just suppose it's like that)
Of course it's a bit radical, but I think the real majority of the people already use WinXP or higher, and some seem to use Win98 just to be able to use slowdown

EDIT: One thing I don't understand: Why don't we get the replays, but only the videos of the jumps? Would like to see the jumps in-game...
