The MSH file extension denotes an Orbiter 3D Mesh File which is a binary-format file type used by the Orbiter Space Flight Simulator to store three-dimensional meshes of images. The mesh files typically contain the 3D coordinates of mesh points, the surface connectivities of these, and further information such as surface normals, colours or textures.
Functionality of MSH Files
The MSH files are very useful for rendering objects in Orbiter as they enable 3D models to be created and manipulated with ease. Furthermore, the files save the data related to the model's surface properties such as colour, orientation, smoothedness, etc. in a relatively small-sized file allowing it to withstand different computing platforms and operating systems.
Similar File Types
Other 3D mesh file types include OBJ, STL, DXF, and 3DS. With regards to 3D modelling software packages, these include SketchUp, Blender, and Maya.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MSH) 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 .MSH 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 .MSH 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 .MSH 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 .MSH extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MSH file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MSH 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 .MSH file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MSH file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MSH file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
