Walkaround pins

I wonder why some walkaround pins are visible without any issues or hidden constraints while some other pins, their visibility, seem to be affected by some hard to catch conditions, like distance or view angle?

Could it be that a DRONE COLLISION mesh has something to do with this?

Truth be told, I also ask myself the same question. I have been facing this same issue with the preflight walkaround pins on my 2024-native EMB-110 (currently in development). I had to move the affected pins from the flight controls, for example, to the top, so they can be visible. Once, the nose landing gear pin was not visible for me but the mistake was because I did not make the relationship of the corresponding navigation graph node onto the maingraph, so I do not know what can cause those pins not to correctly appear, besides the interaction volume parameter in the navigation graph.

BTW Happy and blessed 2026 to you and yours, Rob! @UniformCarp3294

Thank you Carlos and the same for you!.
I confirm, the DRONE COLLISION mesh - if too simple / blocky - can make pins invisible. It looks like if a pin is burried within said mesh, it won’t be visible at all, if a pin is on a surface of the mesh, its visibility may change based on distance / view angles.
