Files known as Flight Simulator scenery files are saved in the BGL format and are appended with the .bgl extension. These BGL files are data files specifically categorized as game files, and Microsoft developed the BGL format for the Gold edition of its Flight Simulator X software. These BGL files contain data that may be referenced by the Flight simulator X Gold edition program during gameplay. The content of these BGL files includes details and files used in the different visual environments or sceneries available in the Flight Simulator X Gold edition software, such as flight routes and airport locations among others. Simple virtual environments used in the game may require one or a small number of BGL files, though reference data for more complicated sceneries with many details are stored in multiple BGL files. The creation and compilation of custom BGL files can be done using the FSX Planner software. Users can install the FSX Planner to start developing custom virtual sceneries for the Flight Simulator X Gold edition software.how to open a .bgl file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .bgl files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .bgl. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
