An SCS file may also be used by video games developed with SCS Software's Prism3D technology, including some Deer Hunter games. It contains game data, such as 3D models, audio, scripts, missions, maps, and other assets. SCS files are used as containers for bundling resources into a finished game.
More Information
SCS files can be unpacked into their underlying files and folders using WinRAR. They may also be re-packaged with WinRAR. Some gamers use this as a means to modify game content.
NOTE: SCS files are stored in an uncompressed format and are typically very large in size.
