There are tons of docs about how to add a vehicle to your map, just go look for it.

As for editing the properties, you edit ODF files with notepad.

By the way they look, he means the skin or textures. For msh and model, use XSI.

If you want to modify the actual shape, because Gimp only does the color and stuff, you have to buy a special version of XSI that can convert it back into its msh format.

Or you could ask someone here who has the version to convert for you after you've done your model.

ODF - Controls what object (in this case an A-Wing) does, weapons, damage, speed, etc - Opens with notepad

TGA - Skin, it's what makes it have the colors and emblems and such like that, surface detail - Opens with image editing programs, don't use paint though.

MSH - Model, defines, and controls 3 dimensional shape, and form - Editable with Softimage XSI Modtools (A free modeling program) Someone else must put it back ingame for you however.
