"Tab" key won't advance POV to next vehicle

Hi, it's been a while since I've been here, I see there's been lots of changes. If this has already been discussed or posted in the "Known Issues", section I'll apologize in advance. I searched and didn't find any information on this.

When I'm in AI mode, OR replaying a recording that had AI vehicles in it, I cannot use Tab to advance to the point of view of the next vehicle, or Ctrl + Tab to regress to the POV of the previous vehicle.

I'm not sure if this is a replay issue or an AI issue (I'm guessing the latter), but I also ran an integrity test and it says I'm missing one file, (which I red-fonted below). Here was the report I got:

If you think the missing file is causing the tab button not to work, how do I get that file back?
Thank you in advance for your time.

There's a setting that allows you to switch between AI cars, I think it's in gameplay?

 

Thank you. Yes, I believe I found that. That's what's set to TAB.
So to update, this is what I've discovered thus far:

1. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, in order to try to gain back that missing file. As far as I can tell, it didn't work. But it may be a "red herring" of sorts, and has nothing to do with the issue I've been experiencing.

2. When I call on AI cars and I'm playing with them live, I cannot use TAB to switch POV between them. I'm now beginning to think that that's normal, and that so many months have gone by since I last played this game, that I had forgotten this fact.

3. When I record with AI cars and go to play it back, sometimes TAB works, but sometimes it doesn't. I haven't quite narrowed down the variables that introduce this problem as of yet.

4. If I introduce cars manually using the "new vehicle" feature in the "Vehicles" section, then I can TAB between cars and switch POV and control of the car, with no issues at all.

As I said above, it may be that I haven't played the game in so long, I forget what the TAB feature can & cannot do.

 

Okay, as I suspected it's been so long, I forgot it didn't work on live traffic.

Replays, sometimes yes sometimes no.
If I open the BeamNG.exe file from the main menu, it seems to work better than if I start using the BeamNG shortcut start icon directly related to Steam. Go figure. Now realize, the latter was created AFTER I reinstalled the game. And the .exe start file was what was left over before the uninstall/reinstall. That maybe has something to do with it. Best I can do at this point is continuing to monitor and be happy when it works right.
