Deluxe Ski Jump Forum

Hi Jussi, when and can we expect the following?

1. Setting the skill levels of the players when we control them. For example, Prevc has a skill level of 10 and Spulber has a skill level of 2. In open ski jumping, this is the system that allows for realistic gameplay.

2. Points for wind and beam

In one of my posts, I proposed expanding the CPU players' skill settings so that, in addition to the three sliders, you could adjust advanced options such as flight distance, style, landing, etc. A jumper could jump far but lose style points or have a higher chance of falling. Furthermore, it would be great to add an option to view CPU players' jump data. For example, clicking on a result would display information about judges' marks, wind conditions, and the starting gate (assuming that a wind compensation system and the ability to lower the gate on request were added).

The answer is: NEVER.

1. CPU players' results are based on real players' online game results. They are not "simulated". They are just "statistics" from the online game.

DSJ has always been based on player's skills only. If you really need a game with a "biased" skill level - you can choose e.g. RTL Skispringen.

2. Polish expression "belka startowa" should be translated as "starting gate" or simply "gate". Have you ever seen - when you watch ski jumping on TV - a word "beam" anywhere?

If you add an option to change starting gate in the game (with compensation points) then the whole table of world records would become rubbish.

Nobody is saying that CPU players should stop relying on online results. They can still base their performance on those scores, but a few variables could be added as an additional option. Besides, why would the leaderboard become useless if wind and starting gate compensation were added? All it would take is adding a result info preview-for instance, clicking on a score would display details about the gate, average wind measurement, and judges' marks.
