[2.0.72] Incorrect description when viewing a driven vehicle remotely

[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.

Steps to reproduce:

• Enter a tank which is within radar coverage
• Enter remote view
• Left-click the tank

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.

I was about to post this as a bug report when I found that this thread already existed.

What the OP is alluding to is not that you should be able to control the vehicle, but that the wording on the description is incorrect.

It should instead say this when a player is physically inside the vehicle:

Driven manually by Player

Ok, I've changed it for 2.1.
