Features
All loaders
- Mouse moves the camera separately from the mount in third person; WASD steers the mount toward where you're looking. Works without Better Third Person.
- With Shoulder Surfing Reloaded, stops SSR from dragging the camera toward mount steering while decoupled.
- Controllable: right stick moves the decoupled mount camera like the mouse.

- Smooth body turns during Better Lockon mount lock-on (BLO's default 8-way snap replaced with trailing)
