[2019] For those who didn't believe my "sail across the map in 2 hours and 20 minutes" claim, here is a video of me crossing 3 servers in under 23 and a half minutes (a pace to cross the map in under 2 hours).

So to end any controversy in the ship I am using /u/WC_Jesse confirmed in the last post that the only difference between a Galleon spawned with "cheat ssf galleon" and a normal Galleon is that the command "cheat setignorewind" is enabled by default. You can see that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/playatlas/comments/adju7t/last_night_i_sailed_across_the_entire_map_for/edjgn34/

So for this video I turned off the command (you can see that it is off, as per WC_Jesse, the w with the - through it is no longer on the screen.

So I am on pace for under two hours at this speed, even with things slowing me down it would give me nearly 25 minutes of wiggle room to match the claim I made previously. I feel like that is plenty to prove I wasn't lying.

Sorry, but I am not going to sit there and stare at the screen for 2 hours sailing again for the entire map, it was a bit brutal the first time! :)

As for the red wall turning blue right before I hit it on the second grid: in the last thread I talked about how I developed a program to dynamically turn on and off servers around you so you can play on a weak private server but still use all 225 squares, that's the program in action, actually. I forgot to update my position in the server so that one didn't turn on, when I pause the game that's me quickly teliing the program what server I am in with two clicks. For those interested, here is more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/playatlas/comments/adju7t/last_night_i_sailed_across_the_entire_map_for/edhzgi3/ and I should have a video further explaining it tomorrow. Was a bit busy today.

EDIT: And for the record for people talking about wind direction, the claim I am disputing is this:

Jeremy Stieglitz: If you’re sailing in a straight line without any stops or detours, it would take you about 30 hours to sail across the world map – and that’s also if the wind was in your favour!

Where he says itd be 30 hours WITH THE WIND IN YOUR FAVOR. Obviously very not true if 3 servers only takes 23 minutes.

Not sure. I am using the 15x15 map that is included with the island editor and have changed zero settings anywhere. So is it just bug with private servers?

I will happily provide anything that could help figure it out.

Also in this video I am going north and in the first test I was headed east, so I guess technically the only wind change is direction.
