CDP files give provision for the gamers to insert third-party map routes, sceneries, and alternative locomotive designs into the Trainz Simulator program. Trainz CDP game files is a binary archive file that can contain 3D models, textures, bitmaps, sounds, and other data related to the trains or locations. Trainz game comes with inbuilt applets such as Content Manager Plus and Content Dispatcher that can be used to append new features from the CDP files into the Trainz game. The N3V software that support CDP files are Trainz Classics, Trainz Driver, and Trainz Railway. Using any of these official programs, gamers can access design modifications into their Trainz simulation game.

CDP file extension format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the CDP files:

The CDP file type is a very commonly used file extension and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in CDP files:

• 50% of all CDP files are Trainz Content Dispatcher Pack files. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. Most of these files are 250 KB to 55 MB in size. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. The files contain the following words: ACS$, assets, kuid, kind, username, category-class, region and trainz-build. Such files sometimes refer to pack, engine, class, calatori, series, sodor, kuid and tank.
• 30% of all CDP files use the popular JSON file format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data−interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The average file size is 1 KB with most files being between 940 bytes and 4 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: "AfcDatabaseSettings" : {, LastUpdated, "DatabaseInstanceId" : 0, "AfsChannelUri" : "", "AfsActivityTypes" : [] and "AfsEnvironment" : "". Examples of file names are CDPGlobalSettings.cdp. These files are often associated with defaultuser, and often consist of personal data.

The remaining 20% of all CDP files are different files with different signatures, often, for example, ZIP. Files like these are sometimes linked to pdpc, perfilador, textures, whistle, amtrak, renfe, face, ttte or zssk. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your CDP file!
