Automatic start of jumper from startgate in online game

[Maciejo-96]

Jussi, is it possible to implement automatic start of jumper from startgate only in online game?

[Georg Gasser]

Yes please because the waiters nerv and delay the game.

Automatic start would be bad if one were just in the middle of typing something, suddenly jumper is at takeoff already .
But more seriously, I think waiting is part of the game, if you see a chance for improving wind you should wait a while and see if you get it, just like they do in real life ski jumping. I think wind waiting is a pretty valid strategic aspect of the game.

I don't really mind waiters anyway, it just adds more excitement: "can I stay in top 3, can I, can I ... Yes!" (although it's usually "No" ). Also I don't think it's that long a wait either, however, I wouldn't mind seeing the waiting time being reduced maybe to 5 seconds in online game.

In reality jumpers also have 10 seconds and sometimes the coach waits a little bit before he waves his flag...
