My browser history shows I Googled for
when removing diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 by
libnvidia-gl-390
In general, I try to look for a phrase that precisely identifies this
problem compared to similar ones, and then work `outwards', making it
more general, if that doesn't yield good results. If the results are
too general then I work inwards by adding more specifics, e.g. the
Ubuntu version.
Based on Terry's search results, it's possible I have Google well
trained as to what's relevant to me. Or Google have been spying on me
too long, depending on one's outlook.

Try after booting from an Ubuntu 18.10 USB stick or similar to see if
the problem has gone away `in the future'.
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Graphics_drivers_configuration
looked interesting, especially the mention of `glxgears'.
Do you obtain FlightGear from an Ubuntu repository? Have you considered
a PPA instead that might have a later version that runs on your current
Ubuntu 18.04?
