Winches & Mud Troubles

[StringBean]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to this game, but so far I am really enjoying the challenge although I do have a couple of questions I would like to ask fellow Off-Roaders.
My first question is when I use the winch, usually after getting stuck in the mud how do I choose different anchor points, I am using a afterglow xbox 360 gamepad and I cant work it out, I have tried the [ ] buttons on the keyboard but im finding that doesn't do anything? The other question is about actually getting stuck in the mud to begin with, do you guys have any tips on getting through it, in regards to what car you use or the set-up of the suspension & tyres. If I know its a mud track I will usually start off with lowering the tyre pressure, locking diff & centre diff, putting the gears down to LO, and sometimes trying to swerve my way around in the mud, yet I still manage to get bogged down, and then not knowing how to change anchor points is a pain. Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
StringBean
