| Microsoft Flight Simulator Scenery Data Format | Microsoft | Game Files |
The BGL file extension is used for flight simulators that are powered by Microsoft Flight Simulator. This file type is used to store data related to the scenery and other setting of the flight simulator. These files contain informations about the terrain features, buildings, trees, clouds, airports and airspaces.
Technical Details
The BGL files are typically compiled using proprietary software tools such as Microsoft Object Placement Tool. This type of file can contain different types of elements like polygons, texture maps and points. The total size of these files may vary from few kilobytes to hundreds of megabytes in size depending on the amount of data that is being stored.
Similar File Extensions
The similar file extensions that can be used for the same purpose includes AD4, BGLX, BPF, FLT, FLY, and FS9.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BGL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BGL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BGL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BGL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BGL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BGL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BGL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BGL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BGL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BGL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
