I believe I have seen advice regarding this subject in several older posts and the "fix" (if I remember correctly) had to do with the anti-alias settings.The suggestion (as I remember it) is to turn off AA on the Card (set it to application controlled) and if you want AA, set it in FS2004 under the display/hardware options.This may or may not work depending upon the Video Card being used.Might be worth experimenting with these settings.

Thanks Opa - after updating my slightly out of date graphic card drivers all is now OKraffer

That problem occured with older Nvidia drivers I believe when AA was set to 8x or above. As far as I can tell that problem has been solved with newer drivers as you have experienced. To anyone still having that problem, a quick work around (that is if you dont want to lower AA to 4x) is to hit alt-enter to go to windowed mode when at the create a flight screen, than simply switch have to full screen mode to fly.
