    I'm not sure if this is a problem only I am having, so hopefully I can explain it sufficiently. If I am in freecam mode (F8) focused on a Barstow for example, I may want to look at the vitals of or reset another vehicle, a D-15. If I am flying around the Barstow and hit Tab, ordinarily I can continue looking at the Barstow from that camera angle, while observing the vitals of the D-15, or resetting it if need be. Now, pressing Tab will teleport me to the D-15, which is rather annoying. For certain scenarios, it is crucial to be able to interact with one vehicle while focusing the camera on another. It also helps with keeping track of vehicles in different locations, especially on incredibly large maps like American Road. One more thing: I can no longer use this feature to teleport vehicles to the location of the one I'm looking at using F7, as tabbing over to the D-15 to F7 it to the Barstow's location will just teleport me to the D-15. Hopefully, this is just a simple bug or a setting that can be switched on or off. Thank you!

    Well, thanks for nothing. I guess I'll try asking somewhere else.

    Yes it is a bit frustrating when the camera resets when tabing to another car.

    This is a known issue, as mentioned in some other thread asking the same.
    It will be fixed in the future more likely.

    Thanks for the reminder, it'll be fixed in the next updates.
