Wierd orbit camera after attaching things to truck

    I just noticed when I attach something to the bed of a truck (D-series in this case), the orbit camera seems to follow the attachment point which is very disorienting while driving and the load is shifting around. I know the orbit camera does this when attaching a trailer (which I have no problem with) and I looked in the camera settings but nothing is there related to this. I'd like to see an option to turn this off maybe in the future because honestly, it's very annoying having the camera follow things that (in my opinion) shouldn't follow or be revolving around.

    I know I could "just use another camera", but I actually enjoy using the orbit camera to see the suspension/crashes/etc.

    someone made a thread about this a few weeks ago...I agree with this complaint, although its kinda nice in some situations to have the camera that way when maneuvering the trailer...perhaps that camera mode can be turned on with a hot key and turned off to follow the chosen vehicle like normal.

    Uhm, should not happen in that case, but for trailers instead (where the pivot becomes the towhitch, so you can see both your car and trailer fine)

    Isn't the node grabber thingy using the same code as couplers, just with different parameters?
    --- Post updated ---
    Then the fact of adding camera pivot change to coupulers might influence node grabber. (Happens on my end too)
