Idea for Future Offline Features: Wind & Gate Points
Posted: 29 Nov 2025, 16:27
Hi Jussi,
First, huge thanks for 1.12 — the calendars are really well done, love how much detail you put into them!
I had a casual idea for a possible future update (1.13 or later) — just a thought, no pressure. It’s mainly about offline gameplay and could be implemented in two stages:
Stage 1 – Wind Compensation Points (offline only)
Stage 2 – Gate Adjustment (offline, optional)
After wind points, the next step could be dynamic gate changes.
Currently, conditions aren’t variable enough to force gate changes during competitions, but there are cases worth considering:

I had a casual idea for a possible future update (1.13 or later) — just a thought, no pressure. It’s mainly about offline gameplay and could be implemented in two stages:
Stage 1 – Wind Compensation Points (offline only)
- Add points for wind conditions in offline competitions.
- There’s an unofficial mod that does something similar: https://github.com/pawel33332/DSJ-4-Win ... me-ov-file
- Fully aware it’s unofficial and could get you banned online, but it proves the concept works.
- Motivation: in offline with real players, wind can vary a lot — e.g., from -1.0 m/s tailwind to +0.2/0.3 m/s headwind. That’s noticeable for the jumper and affects fairness.
- Optional toggle: players can choose to enable or disable this in offline mode.
Stage 2 – Gate Adjustment (offline, optional)
After wind points, the next step could be dynamic gate changes.
Currently, conditions aren’t variable enough to force gate changes during competitions, but there are cases worth considering:
- Lowering the gate on Trainer Request — using the distance-based rule (real-world K-point/HS reference for safety and scoring).
- CPU players sometimes jumps far beyond HS with safe landings — AI Jury could lower the gate in such situations.
- Priority: wind points in offline mode.
- Secondary: optional gate adjustments (Trainer Request / AI Jury).
- Both features would only affect offline, keeping online untouched.
- Toggle options give players control over enabling these mechanics.
