Giants Editor cant load the map

Hello!
I want to ask for help. I edited a mod map in the Giants Editor for personal use, accidentally placed a mod vehicle on the map from the placeable folder, and saved, after that the map froze out and since then the editor can't load the map. Is it possible to load it back? I have many hours of work in it. And of course I don't have a backup :rolleyesnew:

First create a copy of the current version, just to not break anything more.

Then, open the i3d file in a text editor like NotePad++ and search for the added vehicle. Delete the whole transform group block that belongs to it. But make sure not to break the rest of the file structure.
Save the file and try to open it in GE.

That is the best I can think about.

I would first check the log.txt in the My Games/Farming Simulator 2022 folder for any errors and correct as necessary.
