Creating a mission with the editor I added an item to a backpack on the ground.
In-game the backpack was invisible but could still be picked up and became visible when on the player and accessible via the I Inventory.
I then board any vehicle and the backpack is left neatly on the ground standing upright instead of on its side.
Getting out of the vehicle returns the backpack to the player but it sometimes flickers.
