About OVH files

The .ovh file functions as an OMSI Vehicle Configuration File used by the bus simulation games OMSI and OMSI 2 developed by MR Software. These files contain essential parameters that dictate how a vehicle behaves, looks, and sounds within the game engine. They link to 3D models, sound scripts, and physics definitions. The primary disadvantage of the .ovh format is its extreme specificity. It is a proprietary game engine format that requires the OMSI engine to render or utilize the data properly. Standard file converters fail to process it because it relies on external referenced assets like .O3D models or OSC scripts that are not bundled within the file itself. Furthermore, improper manual editing often breaks the vehicle in-game. Users typically need to convert or extract data from .ovh files to parse the configuration values into readable formats like TXT, XML, or JSON. This makes bulk editing or external database management easier. However, translating the physics logic directly into another simulation format is generally impossible without complete manual recreation. This file format is difficult to open or convert online because standard tools lack the game engine context. Often, only the original OMSI software can properly read or compile the data. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or text extraction may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your OVH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The OVH 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 OVH converter.
