how to remove fake vehicles that are visible from a distance?

Great question - These are called LODS and are actually used to give the illusion of a populated world without having to spawn them in. Take the Airport for example - Notice the static (and unmovable) parked planes on the runway? When you get far away enough from them, they actually despawn.

You (as a player) just can't tell that this is the case because the LOD has spawned in; The LOD is like a ghost object that's low definition made ONLY to be spawned in from a distance.

Think of it as a trick to save resources!

Anyways, to remove it, check out this video:

@Wetter42 I found the answer for myself .. these are three low lod models.
prop_distantcar_day
prop_distantcar_night
prop_distantcar_truck
which appear in the distance to enliven movement in distant lands. And I also found a way to completely remove them. along the path mods/x64c.rpf/levels/gta5/props/lev_des/v_minigame.rpf there is a file v_minigame.ytyp which contains lines responsible for their appearance.
open the in openV file with an editor. find rows with one of the specified lods. and delete

it is advisable not to remove prop_distantcar_night. because the night will not be so alive. at night, these lody are not particularly an eyesore. only the headlights shine)
