Hi guys
Today I was flying the XR-5 with the Neesys Module atached to the XR-5 via Universal Cargo Deck to the Moon

All was going OK, the Neesys was beatifull on the Payload bay, and I deployed it on lunar orbit. All was working great, and it was time to come back home. So ALT+F4 (How I exit always) to exit to windows and revise the TEI checklists.

Ok, Houston, we are go for TEI. I open Orbiter, external view, and surprise!!
Where the hell is the Neesys? I press F9, and see it where it was, but it is invisible.

This is not the first time. Usually happens with Mustard modules. It´s a problem I can´t solve. Looks like a texture failure.

Can anybody save me? Here I post the Current State. I see no errors.

If you quit orbiter and restart it does the module appear?

Since the problem is random it is possible that some add-on is corrupting Orbiter's memory heap, which can cause meshes to disappear, or it could be a video driver bug or insufficient video RAM. As a test, I recommend a standard troubleshooting approach:

1. Install a new instance of Orbiter to a new directory.
2. Install OrbiterSound and UMMu.
3. Install the XR5.
4. Install UCD (do not install 'Neesys' yet).
5. Attach a few deltagliders to the UCD and try to reproduce the problem several times.
6. If it fails, it sounds like this may be a graphics driver or insufficient graphics memory problem. Are you running onboard video?
7. If the DGs do not vanish, install 'Neesys' and attach a few to UCD. Try to reproduce the problem again.
8. If it fails, it is possible that 'Neesys' is corrupting Orbiter's memory, or, depending on how many polygons Neesys is, it is possible that it is the same problem noted in step 6 (graphics problem).
9. If it works, then it is likely that some other add-on in your default install was causing the problem. To pin that down, continue adding one add-on at a time and retesting until the problem occurs.

I do also have problems with the Lodestone, deathstar and Planet Niburu add ons. The labels are there, but the ship do not appear on my screen.
I did a clean install of Orbiter. But the problem still does not go away.
It could not be the Graphic card. It is a Nvidia 9600 GT with 512 Meg ram. I install the latest drivers and uninstal that to load the drivers that come with the card. Still it does not work. And The XR2 does the same, BUT after a while. It also disappear.
This ir really frustating. I check the texture and mesh foldrers. They seems to be intact with the correct files. Any help?

I get a similar problem, on a fresh install of orbiter with no add-ons (not even sound) and any ship. It appears to cut out things closer than a certain point, including vessels being docked with, landing pads and parts of planets, and your own ship in external view. Zooming out or changing the FOV makes the object reappear, but returning the zoom or FOV levels makes it disappear again. Saving and quitting, then loading fixes it. Also, waiting for a while seems to fix it as well.

Actually, I have an NVidia card as well (9800GT), maybe it's an NVidida issue.

I also have an nVidia (8800gt) and my meshes vanish and re-appear all the time.
