Outputs

Useful hints

You can also link an advanced pod controller to a remote control SWEP that allows you to control the vehicle from anywhere. Pressing the use key with the remote control equipped will enable the pod controller, as if you sat in the seat of a vehicle. Note that you cannot have an advanced pod controller linked to a remote control and a vehicle at the same time.
