[2.0.72] Incorrect description when viewing a driven vehicle remotely

Post by prophile »

When viewing a tank which is being driven by a player (that is, the player is physically present in the tank), the remote view shows "Driven remotely by [player]". I believe this is not correct because it isn't being driven remotely but rather being physically driven.

When in remote view, you can only drive vehicles remotely (regardless of wheather your character is inside or not). For example try this with Car (which in unmodded cannot be driven remotely) - you can't drive in remote not even when you have character in the driver's slot.
