I have the same problem, and its only present when you have clouds enabled... disable the clouds[I] and that effect dissapears(but also the clouds)... It has something to do with the lastests nvidia drivers...

This is a common problem (bug?), hanging around for some time now. I don't know, but it perhaps started with the 1.3.2pre versions. Not only spacecrafts, but all models (asteroids, moons, ...) are affected, and sometimes it's very ugly.

Let's wait and hope :)

There is no solution yet.
It's a problem of Nvidia MX Cards, and obviousely there has to be a driver update to solve the problem.
