Open FLT File

FLT extension files have different types of formats for various applications, some of them below:

Adobe Audition

In this section, an FLT file is an audio filter used to apply effects such as reverb, echo, chorus, distortion, and other effects to an audio file.

About Adobe Audition

Adobe Audition is a digital audio workstation developed by Adobe Inc. featuring both a multitrack, non-destructive mix/edit environment and a destructive-approach waveform editing view.

The FLT file is a binary file that must be saved inside the main application folder in order to be loaded by the program.

Most of the FLT extension files that work for Adobe Audition also work with Syntrillium Software Cool Edit Pro.

This is because Adobe acquired the Syntrillium Software assets in May 2003 and introduced Adobe Audition in August 2003.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

For Microsoft Flight Simulator, there is also a formatted version of the FLT extension file, which represents a saved flight.

About Microsoft Flight Simulator

It is a realistic flight simulation game, developed by Microsoft, of an amateur type and that has become one of the longest-running, best-known, and most comprehensive home flight simulator programs on the market.

In this case, the FLT file can be a flight included with the program or a saved flight in progress, which can be loaded and continued at a later time.

There is a base file called 'Fltsim.flt' located in Flights\ther\Fltsim.flt which must be present for the program to open.

This file is required, because it is base, and if it is removed, the Flight Simulator program may need to be reinstalled.

Presagis OpenFlight

In this section, the 3D scene description file created in the OpenFlight format.

About OpenFlight

OpenFlight is a native creator of 3D formats, developed and supported by Presagis, which has become, over time, the de facto standard 3D file format for modeling and simulation.

With customizable extensions capabilities of the OpenFlight format provide both the common ground for a diverse user community and a mechanism to save and reuse objects or environments for future projects.

The format acquired by an FLT extension file, in this case, stores data in a hierarchical structure and describes how to render a 3D scene for a real-time imager.

The FLT is often used for military, urban city and flight simulation visualizations.

Applications like 3ds Max and Blender provide native support for the FLT.

Image Filter

Due to its acronym, the FLT file, in this section, is a graphic filter used to apply color correction, artistic effects, image distortions or other modifications to an image.

The name is generic, since it can be loaded and used by several different graphics programs.

Some FLT files are only compatible with specific programs, therefore not all FLT files will be compatible with every application listed at the end of this article.

E-on Vue

In the latter case, the FLT file is a configuration file used by E-on Vue, which is a program used to model 3D environments.

The FLT file contains a color filter curve that is generated using "key points" on a 2D grid.

The FLT helps to emphasize certain colors and filter out others when applied to a 3D scene material.
