If the "Restore DC/Car Visuals" used a long-bottom-button instead of a bunch of info presses to do its job, then it would always toggle back to whatever they left it on.

And then I go over to read the next thread and see:

-- The Restore DC/Car Visuals now just issues a down.L keypress on player startup, eliminating all of the complex logic from the past. This requires "notify=1" in config.ini.

My only fear is that the above change will only work intermittently if it uses the same mechanism as the IR_Translate trick. Of course, the cycle-through-the-info-modes trick only ever worked intermittently for me anyway.
