How do I unpack a .dat file?

[Fielder 0]

I'm ready to pull my hair out.

 

I'm supposed to alter an soundlist.ini file in order to install new aircraft in First Eagles.

 

There is no such file in win explorer, so its got to be packed in a .dat file.

 

Fine, so what program do I need in order to unpack a .dat file?

 

Thanks.

Its in a .cat file in the flight folder either flightadata or missiondata use this to extract it.

Ok, thanks to you I was able to find the unpack utility and with it instantly find soundlist.ini.

How hard is it to go Downloads > Thirdwire Series (SF/WOV/WOE/WWI) > Utilities/Editors & then search through them to find the SFP1/WOE/WOV CAT File Extract Utility?

 

seems perfectly logical to me?

Right, except "SFP1/WOE/WOV" does not apply to FE nor to WW1.

they all use the same game engine though, it's simply that the utility was uploaded way before FE existed hence it's label.
