As the title says, accessory parts (located on model locators) that have a "Shadowonly" material, do only cast the shadow of my own trailer but not of the parts from other people in the convoy mode.

For example:
If I select the "Flip Toe Ramps" for the "Low Bed" Trailer on the "Trailer Rear" model locator, I can see my own shadow.
If another person in convoy mode selects the same configuration or any other accessory on a trailer, I can't see the shadow of this trailer accessory.

In my opinion, it's a major bug.

- - - Reproducibility of the Bug - - -

This bug occurred always with all trailer accessory parts on trailers from friends (no matter whether DLC trailer accessories or default trailer accessories) and has been approved many times with different persons in the convoy mode.


As I have created trailer-mods with accessories for EuroTruckSimulator2, it is a quite annoying bug that hopefully gets fixed with the official release.
It is not a material problem in your .pmg files of the game (they all have the "Shadowonly" material, which normally cast shadows - I looked it up), but rather a development problem.
