How to open FLD file?
The most common problem when using YSFLIGHT Field Format is that a specific FLD is not associated with the program. This causes the file FLD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FLD 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 YSFLIGHT

Programs to open FLD file
Remember to download programs supporting FLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of YSFLIGHT with FLD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLD file still does not use the YSFLIGHT program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FLD file with the YSFLIGHT program.
Step 3. Update YSFLIGHT to the latest version
If, however, after binding YSFLIGHT with YSFLIGHT Field Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FLD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FLD file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FLD file. However, remember that not every infected FLD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FLD files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FLD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FLD 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
