I updated my video card (8800 GTX) with the 178.24_winxp_32bit Nvidia driver. This has resulted in a very irritating ground scenery flicker. Would appreciate any suggestions either to fix it or go to another driver.

Just install your old driver untill a new one comes out.

Make sure Negative LOD BIAS is set to CLAMP, in your driver profiles. Or, REMOVE MIPBIAS= from your fsx.cfg

Ah ok, I was unaware that you were following this install/uninstall cycle. From what was written in your post, it seemed that you decided very quickly to reinstall without much investigations, that's why I was surprised. Now I understand.
