No, how do you know SP1 wont help the NGX? HF4 and reducing the texture sizes has helped a lot on my rig, but then again not everyone has had the same luck that I have had.
I agree, getting rid of the 4096 textures on the NGX has helped a lot. That was actually the first thing I did when I installed the NGX was to reside the 4096's down to 1024. For those running 4096 NGX textures and 4096 REX textures along with any other abnormally large sized textures, its only a matter of time before an OOM depending on what other settings or addons your using.
BTW, why do you tend to always come across as mad, disgusted, unhappy, or namely in a fowl mood when it comes to anything FSX related? I understand you love FS9 and that fine, but if you hate FSX and anything to do with it, even though you aparently own it, why bother with these threads and expressing your disappointment in it? If hated something, namely a game or a sim, I would probably wouldn't waste my time using it or participating in forum topics regarding the said subject.
