I have seen a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, enroute from EDDP to 
EHAM. the problem appeared approx halfway the flight, and appears to occur 
after cycling through the external views using my joystick view cycle button 
(the Saitek-Pro FlightYoke). Since the Saitek button only cycles through a 
limited nr of views, my impression was that something got mixed up in the tile 
scheduler, as a consequence. What is interesting is that in my case, the tiles 
appeared to be missing in a checkerboard type fashion, and cycling through the 
views, caused an alternation of the visible tiles. In other words, after 
completing a complete viewing cycle, tiles that were initially invisible were 
now visible, while those initially visible were now just holes. Finally, I 
found that doing a complete view cycle, using the [v] [shift-v] keys, seem to 
restore the normal situation, at least temporarily. 

Don't know how to interpret this yet, but at least this might be something to 
play with.
