Understanding WINGS Issues
Troubles Opening WINGS Files
Wings 3D Removed
You attempt to load your WINGS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The WINGS File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Wings 3D missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your WINGS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your WINGS file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wings 3D is Out-of-Date
It is possible that your version of Wings 3D isn't able to open your Wings 3D File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Wings 3D version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Wings 3D File file was probably created by a newer release of Wings 3D than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Investigate your WINGS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of WINGS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Wings 3D version installed.
