It depends on free camera angle

You are not really supposed to use the free camera mode for that. Those object (i assume) disappear because they are invisible from ground level anyways and as such, it's a performance saving measure.

To SCS: But i wonder if there's a setting somewhere that can disable this for taking screenshots? If not... why not?

It should be visible from any angle and from any camera. This happens only in some areas and.This is definitely an error.

"because they are invisible from ground " - visible, are you blind? there are crossroads pretty visible from the ground, because you can drive there.

"To SCS: But i wonder if there's a setting somewhere that can disable this for taking screenshots? If not... why not?"
bullsh.., I still would be able to print screen

P.S. Don't you like something in my bug reports? I can tell you what to do... I'll let developers decide what is a bug and what is not

Open the map editor then and see if there's clip planes in that area. Then tell me if it's a bug or not.
Keep the attitude at a minimum please. I am trying to be helpful here.

I mostly mod trucks, not the map or something, so I have no idea where to search for it.

I will just find those areas after the next update comes out and compare.

No attitude. Just giving some bug reports, so let the developers decide.

These are cutplanes used for optimization. The objects disappear when they are not needed to be rendered, because they are hidden behind another building/hill, etc. If you see disappearing objects from in-game cameras while being in a truck, then it is a bug. If you see them disappearing only from flying debug camera, then it's not a bug.
