NVidia Drivers - 457.30 cause 'Moire' and distortion of in-cockpit displays

This was fine the other day, but today my PC auto updated the gfx drivers, and now the displays incockpit are covered with an awful moire pattern (like this: 

No change to any setting seems to fix it. 

EA - Please advise!

    Okay, so I've found the culprit and fix.

    Either NVidia, or Motive have changed something in how these textures are applied.

    To get rid of the overpowering 'moire' pattern you need to turn Temporal Anti-Aliasing to 0 (Zero).

    This is it at 100% (where I had it):

    And this is with the setting to 0:

    I noticed this effect while pushing the texture to 200%, reverted do 100% and it was gone

    Instruments have always looked this way for me (playing at 3840x2160 resolution). Are they not supposed to? I thought it was supposed to be some kind of "retro CRT effect" to mirror how it looks in the Original Trilogy.

    @Cave_Waverider It’s not that they shouldn’t, it’s that since 2.0 & new drivers, the moire effect is vastly increased compared to before. I can’t find a setting that’s changed that would have done this.

    So just to be clear, did you recently change this setting and that is what introduced this moire or did you keep the same settings and only started seeing this with a game update/driver update?

    @pidge2k Same settings, updated game and drivers in same day, saw this over-blown effect. I thought that was patently obvious from my first post.

    Since those updates I’ve had to dial back this setting to reduce the effect.
