Logos?
« on: September 08, 2018, 02:40:58 am »
Hi there,

GSX V2 looks great. Quick question:

Where are all the logos for the huge airlines on the jetways? Delta, Southwest, Frontier.. seem to be missing ...

I mentioned this in my other post then realized maybe this is a better thread. Is there a way to create and load custom logos for the jetway? Specifically, for virtual airlines which do not represent any real world carrier.

Been trying to figure this out too. In the past I've created a couple airline logos to add to GSE with success. I thought this would be just as easy...
First off I can't find the FSDT_SODE_JW_JBT_1_4 model in the Jetway Editor model list or is this model under a different title in the list?

This is what I've come up with so far.

All the airline logos are in this location: C:\Users\...\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_Staircase except for my airlines they are in the ..\FSDT_Staircase_USER\ folder.

For the jetway logos they are in the C:\Users\...\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_SODE_jetway logo folder are the jetway airline texture folders containing a texture.cfg with texture fallback commands pointing to the staircase folder containing the airline logo textures.

For American Trans Air I'm adding:
[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\FSDT_Staircase_USER\TEXTURE.TZ
fallback.2=..\texture


These are my additions in the sim.cfg file in the FSDT_SODE_jetway_logo folder.

[fltsim.420]
title = FSDT_SODE_JW_JBT_1_4_LOGO_TZ American Trans Air
texture = TZ
model = FSDT_SODE_JW_JBT_1_4_LOGO

[fltsim.421]
title = FSDT_SODE_JW_TB_2_8_LOGO_WN
texture = WN
model = FSDT_SODE_JW_TB_2_8_LOGO

What I can't figure out is which file has the logo list that shows in the jetway editor.

The editor doesn't recognize texture Fallback commands so, if you want a preview in the editor (it's just the preview, the simulator *will* show the texture), it must stay in a texture.XXX folder under the FSDT_jetway_logo folder.

Hello,

Could you be a little more specific of what steps should be done to add a jetway logo? I'm trying to add the Piraeus bank logo for LGAV. What I did and still does not work so far is the following:

1) I created a new folder under the \FSDT_SODE_jetway logo folder named 'texture.PIRAEUS_BANK'

2) Inside that folder I edited the .dds file to represent the logo I want to use (180 rotated and horizontally inverted)

3) Inside the same folder, I edited the texture.cfg to show:

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\FSDT_SODE_JETWAY_LOGO\TEXTURE.PIRAEUS_BANK
fallback.2=..\texture

4) I then edited the sim.cfg file under the \FSDT_SODE_jetway logo folder, by adding the following entry:

[fltsim.420]
title = FSDT_SODE_JW_TB_2_8_LOGO_PIRAEUS_BANK
texture = PIRAEUS_BANK
model = FSDT_SODE_JW_TB_2_8_LOGO


However, after this steps the logo does not show under the preview tab in order to add it to the jetway. What am I doing wrong?
