    Graphic problem with PRR #5827 Centipede

    Here's the shot comparison on what I see with this engine. It's really a two engine set. It's only the first body engine at the front that seem to be having the invisible engine body part.

    Here's what it shows in MSTS with Bin:


    And these three shots show the same engine consist as seen in OR:




    As you can see the engine body is invisible on the first lead engine. But all is ok on the second. So, I'm not sure what's causing this. I don't even get any error messages on OR.

    I've also tested out the possibility that it's the shape file of engine part 2. This is a set of 6 parts for the two engines. It's assembled with parts 1,3,4 and 6 as the front and rear truck parts of the two engines. Then parts 2, and 5 are the main engine body. I've tried it with just duplicating part 5 in place of 2 as the lead engine. And that looks ok. So the problem seems to be the rendering of part 2 in OR.

    This is what the working 2 parts of part 5 looks when assembled in place of part 2 that seems invisible in OR.



    As you can see, they both look fine in this assembly. So I'm not sure what's different about part 2 that it shows invisible in OR but in MSTS it's ok. It's also ok if the shape is viewed in Shapeviewer. That renders it fine too.
