The lag is still there. I had to delete this mod because of it. SO, going somewhere on the boat was interrupted by mini-lag, every second stuttering, annoying but bearable. Going out to the menu and back fixed it. Until next trip.

There was also a heavy lag. I am not sure if it was produced by traders or land canals that I've made to get to them ( 3 traders in one place ). When I was approaching that bit of land the game wouldheavy stutter to a still and crash a moment later.

I hope all above makes sense. Deleting the mod fixed it all. 

Version 1.0.1 fixed the lag issue I was having, thank you. Nose rise is a thousand times better as well

@kastrom3 You can reduce the nose rise?! That would be fantastic

Yes, I noticed it too, but only when closing several chests on the ship at the same time. However, I think any lag leads to acceleration.
I'll see what can be done, and also I'll reduce the rise of the nose from speed, otherwise it looks too unrealistic))

Great mod, might be the only boat speed mod that still works on the current VS version. However, me and some friends are experiencing an issue with boat speed while using this mod on our server, hoping you can help.

Problem
Boat speed is normal until either a new chunk loads or you open the map (causing the map to load explored areas). In either case, the ship suddenly goes twice as fast then slowly slows down to normal speed.

Steps to Replicate
You can replicate this by opening the map while sailing, zooming out, then rapidly panning the map to explored areas that haven't loaded yet. You can abuse this to make your boat go insanely fast depending on how much explored area you have to load in the map. So my uneducated guess would be game lag = speed being multiplied too many times.

Testing Done
This bug stopped occurring when the mod was removed (removed from server and client + caches cleared), and immdetiately returned when it was reinstalled.

I'm not super familiar with modding this game, but I recall seeing a forum discussion about how vanilla VS has code in place specifically to correct for game lag affecting boat speed calculations. I assume that speed correction isn't being applied with this mod enabled because you're using your own speed parameter, forwardSpeedMultiplier, and the lag correction code only references the vanilla speedMultiplier parameter. I can try to dig up the forum discussion if this sounds like something that could be the culprit.
