What is a GVP file

GVP files mostly belong to Microsoft Flight Simulator. GVP files serve distinct roles depending on the software that created them. They are not a single, universal format but a label used in different contexts.
Key Use Cases:
  • Flight Simulator Voice File: In this context, a GVP file holds voice samples or commands used by simulation software such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, often linked with systems from Evoke or Falcon BMS.
  • Google Video Pointer File: Here, the file acts as a pointer within the Google Video Player, storing references or indexing information. More details can be viewed on the Google Video page.
  • Gerber Viewer Project: In electronics design, a GVP file may store project settings for Gerber file viewers like Gerbv, assisting users with PCB layout and layer configuration.
  • Functionality:
    FilExt.com note: Each variation of the GVP file is designed to be opened only in the appropriate application, as its structure and content are tailored to that specific use case. Attempting to open one type with an unrelated program (for example, a text editor) may reveal little useful data.

    How to open GVP files

    You need a suitable software like Microsoft Flight Simulator to open a GVP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GVP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GVP file directly in the browser:.
