Edit: It's okay, I found out how to delete all the text.

Not too bad!

It gets a bit laggy though towards the end heading into port. Good work with the camera btw
What do you mean "laggy ..towards the end heading into port. I cannot held what the water does to the boat, so please define "laggy"

Your frames per second obviously dropped dramatically from being on the open water and then entering the port. Your CPU and video card show their age here or you have too much AA and AF on in your graphics card settings. Try tweaking your graphics card to lower your image quality settings. This will reduce image quality somewhat but it will improve your overall performance. Remember, eye candy is nice but performance is nicer!

It was a lot better than your first video though which shows you are getting better at it!

Suggestion:

For future video releases that you make, try not to use the mouse cursor in the video as much as possible. It takes away from the "movie" and makes it look more like a game demonstration. Try using "hot keys" instead.

I use the "backspace" button to pause the game. I then line up my camera with the angle that I want and I make sure my mouse cursor is not visible. I then hit "backspace" again to resume the game and once it begins again after being unpaused I quickly hit my "special" key to start recording with Fraps.
The mouse cursor was a mistake in using the camera, too excited, too many things.

I don't know how to tweak my graphics card and I cann't afford to buy a new one and I have a Seanix Pentium 4. Bought it 2 years ago. My card is GeForce 660 I think and upgraded after the game quit loading in U-51's 44th mission. So whatever graphics I get will have to do, I guess.
