.CFG File Extension
What is a CFG File?
CFG files are configuration files used by Celestia, a 3D universe simulation program. These files are saved in a plain text format and specify the data files to load at program startup. CFG files are editable but require cautious handling to avoid errors that could impede the program's loading process.
How to Open CFG Files
CFG files can be opened with any text editor like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or gedit on Linux. Since CFG files are plain text, they do not require any specific software besides a text editor.
Can CFG Files Be Converted?
While CFG files generally serve as configuration files and are not typically converted to other file formats, they can be edited and saved as different versions if needed for backup or version control purposes.
