To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Data Archive" file type, you need software like DCS World or a similar tool.
A .miz file is the standard mission package format for DCS World, a high-fidelity combat flight simulator developed by Eagle Dynamics. These files are essential containers that bundle everything required to run a scenario: unit placement coordinates, weather parameters, triggers, embedded audio briefings, and localized images.
Technically, a .miz file is simply a renamed ZIP archive. This creates a common limitation for users who wish to inspect a mission's internal logic without launching the resource-heavy game editor. Users often need to "convert" these files to extract the internal mission file (which contains the core logic as a serialized Lua table), retrieve embedded briefing images for web use, or modify scripts externally in a code editor like VS Code.

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 MIZ converter.
