Hey Guys, I sure wish you a nice day,

I don't know if this is even possible, but being curious , I want to "see" what a bgl file looks like but don't know how to open them, - - - or if it's even possible or permitted. I just installed a "mesh" program into my FSX and want to look at them.

Can you help me/ is it even permitted ?

Thanks for your input, caveman

You mean open them in a text editor like notepad and see what they look like? I don't think you can. Or do you mean open them with a program to edit them, like afcad?

Hi,Thanks for your interest in helping .

I can open "them" in notepad, however - - - what's there don't make sense. I would just like to be able to understand what's there. It's like a big secret - - - maybe it is or suppose to be . Just curious. [ Can't understand things if they are hidden like that.]

Have a good one, caveman

Well, the are meant to be "read" by a program, not by humans! Humans are dumb, thats why you can't read them right outta the file!

bgl files that contain: Readible with:

3D data like buildings Nothing I think.
Airport Layouts AFCAD is the ultimate prog for airports!
Traffic data Can be decompiled to txt files with TTools.

But I don't know what's about mesh! Cool

Sorry for you. Undecided
