Request for new handling and catering companies

[MasterLorenzo]

Ok. I will open up a new topic for the neutral/blank livery.

No reason for that, since the request HAS been noted, and adding a new thread won't decrease the time it will take to do it, the only thing affecting it, is the priority of workload affected by adding new features and fixing outstanding issues due when users reports them.

Hello! Can I also add to the list of requests for new ground handers - these are handlers used at Gatwick and will mean that all Gatwick handlers are in GSX.

Hopefully this is enough information

@Umberto:

According to the Changelog of 2.4.3, you implemented the neutral/blank now.

First things first: Thank you for that.

But now I have to asked the same question as I did above in this topic:
Is the neutral/blank livery supposed to be choosable at certain airports only? I cannot choose it at EDDK nor EDDL.

If with "choosable"; you mean always be available everywhere automatically in the operator selection menu, then no, it isn't and it would be wrong if it were, because it would mean giving it the highest priority in the scoring system even with we have proper information about which operator is really there.

In fact, it's exactly the opposite, and it has the lowest possible priority possible, precisely to prevent it to appear everywhere, but still be available in the parking customization, which means if you find an airport where you are absolutely sure we assigned the wrong operators, and you can't find any suitable one either, you can assign it the blank one.

Ok, I think I understand. That means I have to assign it to a specific stand at a specific airport, right?

As far as I understand from the manual, I have to know the Service Company's ICAO and the name of the Catering Company, respectively, which I assume are both fictional. What are they?

Yes.

Not exactly, those are just a priority scoring boost if the airport contains parking code, to give some candidate operators an higher score. However, it's way easier to just select the operator from the list, and in that case, GSX will just use that, ignoring any scoring.

Any luck adding genair for an Aruba operator? TNCA

Or perhaps it was already added but cant find it due to the shortcut name used?

Any update?

[Brokenbroccoli]

I still can't see DHL_white. I have got all new handlers like REDHANDLING, default and such, but DHL white is still missing for me. They operate at EGKK. (And yes, I checked the whole list when choosing "edit airport positions")

[reverentan]

I also can't find DHL_White, and American Airlines Red seems to be missing as well, can't find it in the editor and it doesn't show up as one of the default options at KSBA.

Since my last post I've also noted some more handling companies that I would love to see added:

Talma Ground Handling
ICAO: MM** (Mexico) SK** (Colombia) SP** (Peru) SE** (Equador)
LOGO: https://res.cloudinary.com/crunchbase-production/image/upload/c_lpad,h_170,w_170,f_auto,b_white,q_auto:eco,dpr_1/ngxzmvbivcnjhdykjocb
BASE COLOR: full_blue

Cobalt Ground Solutions
ICAO: EGLL
LOGO: The logo should be full white as seen here https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4E1BAQHZniiXuPpE8g/company-background_10000/0/1656083986902?e=1680541200&v=beta&t=l15q8E91UKepgdlizRN4xQkHxEVwFJ3cTHDP175BJkw
I couldn't find the white version of their logo so here is the normal one, would be great if you could possibly edit it to look like the real one used on their vehicles. https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C560BAQFqBM1zHbCalw/company-logo_200_200/0/1547486035089?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=SZtgbCY6kZqdWcpzRT0wWigu6F6-AEZotOH4BQ3jpR4
BASE COLOR: full_cyan

Assuming you mean the request for a blank livery, there wasn't any need to confirm, since it was in the Release Notes from March 24th:
