# CFG Files<no value>
`*.cfg` files are configuration files that end in "cfg". You can find examples of these whiles in most packages, for example in aircraft you have the [Aircraft Configuration File](../../../../../content-configuration/cfg-files/aircraft.cfg/) and for cameras you have the [Camera Configuration File](../../../../../content-configuration/cfg-files/cameras.cfg/).

When looking at a `*.cfg` file, you'll see that it's comprised of one or more `[section]`s, and within each `[section]` you can define one or more **parameters**. Sections start with the `[section]` header and end when a new `[section]` header is reached, or when the end of the document is reached. The parameters within a section will always be formatted in the same way:

``` cpp
<parameter_name> = parameter_value
```

Below is an exert from the `aircraft.cfg` file so you can get an idea of this basic structure:

``` codeblock
[Version]
major = 1
minor = 0

[GENERAL]
atc_type = "MyManufacturer"
atc_model = "Simple"
Category =  "airplane"
performance = ""
```

Also note that the file should be saved using a specific encoding as explained here:
