The BTG file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BTG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BTG file on each system platform.
What is BTG file?
The BTG file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. The creator of this file is Curtis L. Olson. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. FlightGear Scenery is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The FlightGear application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Curtis L. Olson.
How to open BTG file?
The main problem with FlightGear Scenery is that the BTG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BTG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BTG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FlightGear
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FlightGear is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FlightGear into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BTG with FlightGear. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BTG files.
Programs to open BTG file
Remember to download programs supporting BTG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlightGear with BTG files
If, despite the installed application, the BTG file does not start in the FlightGear application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BTG file with the FlightGear program.
Step 3. Update FlightGear to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FlightGear program, it is possible that FlightGear Scenery requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Curtis L. Olson page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BTG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BTG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BTG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BTG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BTG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BTG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Curtis L. Olson
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BTG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BTG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BTG to close. However, some background programs may block the BTG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
