Replace Car with different name than the downloaded version

t0bi

Hi everybody,
as the topic says i would like to add for example a downloaded bmw m6 (filename f620) as a zion in the game.
If i rename downloaded f620 files to zion and add the via openiv, the car is in the game but speedometer and maybe others things are not working.

So i guess the modder who created the car uses files from f620 to display speedometer correctly.
Now i want to use a trick and copy all relevant values from f620 and paste them over the zion values.
Is that possible an if yes, where are the files and values located to display that speedometer correctly?

Thanks in advance!

I found out by myself
The following lines in update.rpf/common/data/levels/gta5/vehicles.meta

  <dashboardType>VDT_SUPERGT</dashboardType>

and pretty much at the end of the file

<Item>
  <parent>vehicles_sultan_interior</parent>
  <child>zion</child>
</Item>

They have to be changed to make dials working correctly.
