</>What does Winch From the Driver's Seat do?
In RV There Yet? the RV's winch only moves while someone holds the Winch Controller and presses its buttons, which usually means one friend on the remote and another at the wheel. Winch From the Driver's Seat hands those orders to the driver. Sit in the driver's seat and press Reel In, and the winch starts pulling in its rope, the same order the Winch Controller's reel-in button gives. Let Out feeds the rope out, and Stop Winch keeps the rope at its current length, just as when you let go of the remote's button. Only the remote's own off button, or unhooking the Winch Hook, sets the rope free. The winch keeps going until you press Stop Winch or get out of the seat, so you can keep your hands on the throttle and the steering while it works. Use the Rear Winch switches all three buttons over to the winch at the back of the RV. The winch still pulls with its normal strength and its normal rope, and you still carry the Winch Hook out and attach it by hand first. It works for whoever is driving, host or guest, because the buttons send the same request to the host that the Winch Controller sends for every player.
</>What is Winch From the Driver's Seat?
Winching normally takes two people in RV There Yet?: one holds the Winch Controller while the other drives. This mod gives the driver three buttons in the ProjectMods launcher, Reel In, Let Out and Stop Winch, plus a switch for the rear winch. Each button sends the game's own winch request, the one the remote uses, so the winch behaves exactly as it does with the remote, only now the person at the wheel controls it. Bind the buttons to keys in the launcher to work the winch without leaving the game.
</>Common questions about Winch From the Driver's Seat
Can I work the winch while I'm driving?
Yes, that is what this mod is for. Without it the RV's winch only moves while someone holds the Winch Controller. With it, Reel In makes the winch pull its rope in, Let Out feeds it out and Stop Winch stops it, all pressed from the driver's position. These are the same three orders the handheld remote gives, so the winch moves just as it would if a friend were holding the remote for you.
Does it make the winch stronger or the rope longer?
No. The winch pulls with its normal strength, reels at its normal speed and keeps its normal rope length. You still carry the Winch Hook out and attach it by hand before reeling in. The mod only decides who can give the winch its orders: now the driver can, from the seat.
When does the winch stop?
When you press Stop Winch, when you get out of the driver's seat, or when you turn the mod off. Each time the winch stays switched on and keeps the rope at the length it has reached, the same as letting go of the Winch Controller's button. To free the rope, use the Winch Controller's own off button or unhook the Winch Hook. If a crewmate has taken over with the Winch Controller in the meantime, getting out or turning the mod off leaves their order running.
Does it work as a guest in someone else's game?
Yes. The buttons send your request to the host the same way the Winch Controller does for every player, and the host's game moves the winch and shows it to everyone. You only need to be the one sitting in the driver's seat.
Which winch does it use?
The RV's front winch by default. Turn on Use the Rear Winch and Reel In, Let Out and Stop Winch work the winch at the back instead. Switching while a winch is moving stops the one that was moving first.
What options does Winch From the Driver's Seat include?
Reel In
While you sit in the RV's driver's seat, starts its winch reeling in, the same order the Winch Controller's reel-in button gives, so you can drive and winch at once. It keeps reeling until you press Stop Winch or leave the seat. Works for whoever drives, host or guest.
Stop Winch
Stops the winch reeling in or letting out and holds the rope where it is, the same as letting go of the Winch Controller's button. The Winch Controller's own off button, or unhooking the Winch Hook, frees the rope again.
Use the Rear Winch
Reel In, Let Out and Stop Winch work the RV's rear winch instead of the front one.
Let Out
While you sit in the RV's driver's seat, starts its winch letting the rope out, the same order the Winch Controller's let-out button gives. It keeps going until you press Stop Winch or leave the seat.
Winch From the Driver's Seat is a ProjectMods mod for RV There Yet? that lets the driver reel the RV's winch in, let it out and stop it from the seat, with the same orders the handheld Winch Controller gives, so one player can drive and winch at once.
