Vehicle to prop?

[KevinhoH]

What is the best way too turn an vehicle into a prop? I've tried some things but I'm not experienced at all at modding.
For example, when I dump vehicle files into the "Import" map and I try to load them as props in the editor the texts etc. appear reversed. Another time I try to load a prop it appears really tiny ingame. Does anyone have a good method or a good way to explain step for step how to do it properly?

Yeah dumped models are mirrored for some reason. You can check out this guide to fix that (just skip the part where you recolor textures). You'll want to delete the illumination map (name ends in _i) since props have different colors for those than vehicles. But since you don't need light on a prop vehicle, deleting it is the easiest way to go about it.

And in case you're planning to share the result and it's a vehicle from the workshop, you should know you need the permission of the original creator to do so.
