Helmet-mounted Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) do not contribute to the player's shadow when playing in first-person view.

The same NVG correctly casts a shadow in third-person view under identical lighting conditions.

This occurs with both vanilla equipment and modded NVGs, suggesting the issue is related to the first-person rendering pipeline rather than a specific model.

1. Launch DayZ

2. Equip a helmet or head strap

3. Attach a vanilla NVG

4. Stand in direct sunlight facing a wall or the ground so the player's shadow is clearly visible

5. Observe the shadow in first-person

6. Switch to third-person without changing position or lighting

7. Compare the shadow

The helmet-mounted NVG should cast a shadow in first-person, just as it does in third-person.

Actual Result

In first-person, the NVG is missing from the player's shadow.

In third-person, the same NVG correctly appears in the shadow.
