Thanks for the reply. I thought the near clippling plane might have been the problem but its not clipping the terrain adjacent to the points.
It also makes me wonder why this would only happen if the terrain is visible. I've set my near clipping plane to .1 and the far to 1000. The camera I'm using is the default one created by the viewer. double fovY, aspectRatio, near, far; mcam->getProjectionMatrixAsPerspective(fovY, aspectRatio, near, far); mcam->setProjectionMatrixAsPerspective(fovY, aspectRatio, .1, 1000); mcam ->setComputeNearFarMode(osg::CullSettings::DO_NOT_COMPUTE_NEAR_FAR); mcam ->setCullingMode(osg::CullSettings::NO_CULLING); Even with these settings the problem still occurs.

I should clarify, when I said "near plane clipping is at fault" I didn't mean to imply that it might be a bug lurking, but that even normal near plane clipping by can result in parts of the scene looking like they are being culled. The near and far planes are totally under your control so if you want you can set them explictly to what you want. So rather than a bug is just an aspect of OpenGL/OSG rendering that one has to be aware of and mange accoridingly.
