SPB to XML Utility -spb2xml . SPB means SimPropBinary. It is a proprietary file format introduced in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It is a generic data format that store various kind of informations and can be compiled from different XML files. Files in SPB are read quicker by the simulator than XML files, so when performance is an issue files can be compiled to SPB. SPB is used in place of XML in some parts of the simulator: - Missions - Autogen description - Dialogs localisation - Living World configuration - Gauges (unused) If you look at propdefs files (in the propdefs subdirectory of FSX), you will see all currently supported types. 12K
