Description

Description:
Sends a simple command to the vehicle's driver / gunner (except air vehicles). See also vehicleMoveInfo.

Notes

Ceeeb
Valid commands include: "FORWARD", "SLOW", "FAST" "BACK", "LEFT", "RIGHT", "STOP", "FIRE", "CEASE FIRE", "MANUAL FIRE", "CANCEL MANUAL FIRE". There may be more.

Only vehicles crewed by a player can use sendSimpleCommand.
Killzone_Kid
Other commands that work: "KEY FIRE", "KEY FAST", "KEY SLOW", "KEY DOWN", "KEY UP". These will simulate key presses.

In Arma 3 player doesn't always need to be in the vehicle to give commands.
