PSSG file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the PSSG files:

An PSSG file predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 85% of all PSSG files are EGO Engine Textures files. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The average file size is 2 MB with most files being between 140 KB and 11 MB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. PSSG. Files like these are sometimes connected to high, highlod, driver, model, higtxt, pack, team and garage.
• 10% of all PSSG files use the popular GZIP file format. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The file size is in the range of 13 KB to 4 MB. Such files are related to user.

All other PSSG files (5%) have no consistent format. These files are often connected to sponsor, persistent, strp, nonpersistent, dummies, livery, lowlod, grids or anim. Just click the "Choose your .pssg file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your PSSG file is.
