Vehicle weapons not manually fireable in remote drive in Single Player

The `shoot selected` (default: shift+space) control does not work while driving a vehicle in remote view, UNLESS the save is or has been a multiplayer save (distinguishable by the presence of a `Weapons control` toggle in the vehicle GUI - in single player, only the `Auto targeting` section exists). Tested with Spidertron + rockets.
This for example makes it hard to terraform lava on Vulcanus remotely, with the only alternative I'm aware of being driving a tank or car into a reactor.

Works flawless for me.

Are you using any mods? Can you please post a save file showing this issue?

This was a false alarm due to my over-reading into that single/MP split in the users who could or couldn't confirm, I see now what I did wrong:
* When I tried both with and without the various gunner toggles enabled, I must have been clicking on ground tiles; I hadn't realized only an entity could be targeted.
* When this possibility occurred to me and I tried targeting an entity, I still had `With gunner` left toggled on from the previous test, which for presumably technical reasons blocks manual fire control from working.
Working now, sorry for the noise.
