Saving a Project

When you save your project, it is saved to a .FLY file, a file that contains all the project settings and content. The .FLY file does not include the actual terrain databases (MPT file) or any other loaded 2D or 3D files. It only contains pointers to the local or remote files.

The names of the external files are stored in the .FLY file in their full path format. You can copy .FLY files to other locations in your local system, but not to remote computers or servers.

Note:    You can create projects for distribution, either on an external storage device or on network servers, by publishing the project. See the “Publishing TerraExplorer Projects” chapter for information.
