Sorry, I just couldn't resist teasing you a bit

Thomas wrote:The theoretic solution to the issue is very simple: Make the wind change EQUALLY for everyone, then talent will that much more important when everybody is jumping under equal conditions. People will whine about taking away an element of realism, but f--- that! It's a game! If they could make the wind perfectly equal for everyone in real life ski jumping, then they would do it!

I agree! If it can be done (can it jussi?), equal conditions for everyone would be great. What I would not like to see is a wind corridor limiting the wind change. This would alter the game too much in my opinion.

@Jussi:
Please do something about the wind, I'm getting crazy If I want to play a game were luck is very important, I'll play yatzy or something =P

Most people that write/vote here also think it's way to much variation, so it's not just me that doesn't like how it is now...

Also, it's extremly difficult to keep the ranking steady between the big tournaments, cause if let's say 15 people are playing, and I get extremly bad wind, and I end on 9. place, I'll lose like 5-7 ranking points... Let's say that on the next hill I'm extremly lucky with the wind, and win (yay ), I'll only earn back 1-2 ranking points... So, although I then get avarage wind altogather, I still lose 4-6 ranking points...

It was fun to see results of qualifying in France today in one WC
5 jumped around 230m, 5 around 210m and 5 below 200m
try and guess why

My exact words. I said the same here and in private mails to Jussi earlier.
