You can teach monkeys to fly better than that.

Could be many things. Difficult to say without seeing it. It could just be flickering between VC cockpit elements that's often seen in FSX. Does it stop flickering when you don't pan around the VC.
 
Do you also get artefacts externally or is it just in the cockpit?
 
If externally as well, try reducing your Autogen. If externally as well, and you're using the buffer pools tweak, reduce graphical settings like frame rate lock, autogen and water.
 
Make sure you have HIGHMEMFIX=1 in your FSX cfg. It's in the [GRAPHICS] section. This is a fix that Microsoft forgot to include.
 
Just in case it is hardware related, update your graphics card driver. Also check your graphics card temperature when under load, just in case it's an overheating issue. While you're at it, also check your CPU temp under load.
 
Are all patches installed for this add-on?
 
If other software is playing up too, it could be the graphics card packing up.
