    Odd shaped found in NorthCoast Route

    Discovered these shapes in the California North Coast Route

    MSTS North Coast Railroad Route v3.2 Update
    Requires North Coast Railroad Route 3.1,
    X-Tracks 3.20 and NewRoads 4.0.
    This update extends the Northwestern Pacific
    Railroad route south from Willits to Ukiah.
    There are also a handful of scenery updates
    through the rest of the route.

    These vertical column shapes that flicker and dance around appear at the Manila Lumber Company on the way to Samoa Lumber. Camera angle and altitude change the shapes, higher the camera vertical shapes get taller --- etc. Used TSRE to explore area and saw nothing. Looked in my notes and saw I made a notation sometime ago ( then forgot to look into it ) so it appears this visual distraction appears in both the stable and MG versions of OR. Any Help?

    I've heard from others about these strange columns in the NCR route, usually around Samoa. They seem to always be located along tile boundaries, making us think they are related to the terrain instead of a shape. I've never been able to replicate the issue in MSTS, OpenRails, or TSRE, so I've never been able to fix it.

        These shapes look oddly familiar. Wait... Ive seen them in many places on other routes built by different people. These things have to do with the graphics textures or vertices. An object has been placed there with vertices connected in a such a way, that it causes it to look absurd. That or multiple thin scenery objects put close together have a image texture missing on one or two surfaces.

        On a side note, the objects on the image on the right look similar to the switch pole in the image on the left, just saying.
