About LG2 files
The .lg2 extension identifies three distinct file types, each creating unique compatibility roadblocks.
Live for Speed Track Layout: The most common use (approx. 16%) is a binary game data file for the racing simulator Live for Speed. These files store track geometries, spawn points, and race logic. They are strictly proprietary and cannot be opened by standard image viewers or 3D software like Blender. Users often try to convert them to OBJ or FBX for modding, but this requires specialized community-created unpackers rather than standard converters.
Calcomp Plotter Vector: Approximately 13% of files are legacy vector graphics created by Calcomp plotting software. These contain instruction sets for pen plotters (similar to PLT or HPGL). Modern CAD tools like AutoCAD or Adobe Illustrator rarely support direct import of this obscure legacy format, leaving users with unreadable engineering drawings.
MSMQ Log File: A significant portion of these files are actually Microsoft Message Queuing logs. These are system files automatically generated by Windows Server environments to record message states. They are often locked by the system, lack a clear text structure, and can grow indefinitely, causing disk space warnings.
Best Conversion Targets:
For CAD/Engineering: Convert Calcomp files to DXF or PDF to preserve vector scalability and layer data.
For Gaming/Modding: LFS files are best managed within the game's internal editor, though specific modding tools can export to 3DS.
For IT/Admin: MSMQ logs should be viewed as TXT or analyzed via Windows Event Viewer.

The LG2 Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LG2 converter.
