How to open SPMOD file?
An often recurring problem with SimplePlanes Game Modification Format is that SPMOD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SPMOD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPMOD 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 SimplePlanes
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SimplePlanes is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SimplePlanes into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SPMOD files.
Programs to open SPMOD file
Remember to download programs supporting SPMOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SimplePlanes with SPMOD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPMOD file still does not use the SimplePlanes program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 SPMOD file with the SimplePlanes program.
Step 3. Update SimplePlanes to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SimplePlanes program with the SimplePlanes Game Modification Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Jundroo page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPMOD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SPMOD 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPMOD file. Sometimes virus-infected SPMOD 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 SPMOD 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPMOD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPMOD 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SPMOD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SPMOD file again. 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.
