A .vxl model is a stack of numbered sections, and the shadow is rendered from one of them rather than from the whole model. Pointing this at the section that dominates the silhouette gives a vehicle a shadow shaped like that part instead of like its body.

ShadowIndex=1 ; the second section of MYTANK.VXL throws the shadow

Only a vehicle drawn from a voxel reads the setting. An aircraft always casts its shadow from section 0, and nothing else in this scope casts a voxel shadow at all.
