What causes various scenery shapes or railcar load freight animations to just go *poof* and drop off quickly as the shape is exiting the scene at the edge of your monitor. Scenery items like code line poles are the most common. If it is a freight animation load that is rather large, the sudden "blink-off" loss of the shape and any large scale shadow it happened to be throwing is *very* noticeable. MSTS had this problem, and it seems to be occurring now in Open Rails more often. Is there something inside the shape that needs to be edited?

Probably the shape file. Sounds like a volume sphere problem to me
