Driver head suddenly reappeared in first person playback

[Mr. Malarkey]

Hello everyone -

I've been working on a new driver model (which I will share when all is ready). Been having no problems at all with it, but suddenly today my helmet suddenly started showing during the replays in first person mode. It works fine and is hidden like it is supposed to be during gameplay.

I didn't touch the driver3d.ini file at all since I first changed it to the new driver. I certainly didn't delete the hide commands from the file. I used the object inspector, and double-checked my ini file, and the commands to hide the head and helmet are still there.

I was working on some skins this morning - both for the car in question, and for the driver - but I've been doing that constantly for the past several weeks (as I work on this project) and have never encountered any troubles before.

So what could have changed? Are there any other files in the car folder that affect how AC hides the driver head/helmet? Has anyone else encountered this before? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
