Request for new handling and catering companies
« on: March 22, 2023, 12:12:04 pm »
Hello, following the discussion in the discord here are some companies I would love to see in GSX

Catering:


BFCC (Biman Flight Catering Centre)
ICAO: VG** (All of Bangladesh)
LOGO: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--dJsfmepWo4/Tf2w3FviDZI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/hJnZLCt8bms/s1600/Biman_Airlines_White_Hood111y123.jpg

Ground Handling:


Biman Bangladesh Airlines
ICAO: VG** (All of Bangladesh)
LOGO: https://www.logo.wine/logo/Biman_Bangladesh_Airlines

US-Bangla Airlines
ICAO: VG** (All of Bangladesh)
LOGO: https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/342226/us-bangla-airlines

Scala Ground Handling
ICAO: LFKF
LOGO: https://entreprise.pole-emploi.fr/static/img/logos/TNqO4c8ifqFOFvsOscAixtt5nhthGoUx.png

Samsic
ICAO: SOCA TFFF TFFR TFFJ FMMS LFPG LFPO KORD KSFO
LOGO: https://macdndev.azureedge.net/copella/7/a/4/d/5/4/7a4d5438bd7bbdf5d9406c8eb35f6be8dafe422b.webp

Samsic Canada
ICAO: CYYC CYEG CYUL CYYZ
LOGO: https://storage.buzzsprout.com/variants/yjwrpxvy6d5se13x8ri8tty5f44g/60854458c4d1acdf4e1c2f79c4137142d85d78e379bdafbd69bd34c85f5819ad.jpg

Samsic Dominicana
ICAO: MDSD MDPP MDAB MDCY MDJB MDBH
LOGO: https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E22AQE_v-lmSSrzSA/feedshare-shrink_2048_1536/0/1578154854584?e=1682553600&v=beta&t=Y4umhEqZE5eZHCWelubij2Q2Rx7AbLCob1DuKtkdL_M

If these 3 different Samsic logos are too low resoultion you could also use their main logo for all of them: https://logovectordl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/samsic-logo-vector.png

Atlantic Airways
ICAO: EKVG
LOGO: https://www.atlanticairways.com/en/about-us/media

American Airlines Red
ICAO: KSBA (might be at more US airports but I've seen it here)
LOGO: Should be the same as AA_WHITE but with a red base color

If I may, I'd also request some changes:

DHL:
in GSX, all DHL handling equipment is yellow, while IRL (at least for PAX ops) they use white vehicles, with a "DHL" logo on them. They are very present in Gatwick, for example.

Fraport:
In GSX, Fraport logo always says "Frankfurt airport", while Fraport is used all over the world. They don't say "Frankfurt airport", but only "Fraport".

And if possible, I'd like to request a "blank" livery, that's just white. There are many airports out there using unmarked equipment. Gotta be the simplest livery request ever. :)

Is the neutral (blank/white) livery supposed to be choosable at certain airports only? I cannot choose it at EDDK nor EDDL.
My GSX test scenario (unless otherwise stated):
Sandbox environment
GSX v 2.9.1 (as of 20 Jan 2023)
Fenix A320, PMDG 737-800, ATR-72
EDDL (JustSim), EDDK (Aerosoft), both not Marketplace
GSX jetways disabled
no AI traffic
no antivirus or firewall software running
all apps started in admin mode

Nowhere the release notes for the latest update said anything about a blank livery being added, it was just a suggestion, but what really went in the update, is listed on the official release notes.

Ah, ok. Obviously I took your "Done in 2.4.2" as an answer to Brokenbroccoli's request.

So, now I request a neutral/blank/white livery. I re-use Brkenbroccoli's words: "There are many airports out there using unmarked equipment. Gotta be the simplest livery request ever."

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?

Thank you very much!
although I have 2.4.2 installed, I can't find DHL white logo. I suppose it would be called DHL_white or something like that?

@Brokenbroccoli:

As far as I understand, Umberto's "Done in 2.4.2" does not refer to your request.

I was glad you requested a neutral/blank/white livery, because I requested the same some month ago. At that time, Umberto answered me they won't do that (I suppose because too few people are asking about it, or because my reasoning wasn't good.) But now there is new hope for such a livery, thanks to your request. Let's hope the best.

According to the changelog, there should be a white DHL:

According to the changelog, there should be a white DHL:

A "white DHL", is not a "white livery", meaning a generic livery that is operator neutral, which is what you asked, and is still not there YET.

A "white DHL" is ANOTHER livery you asked, the version that has only the normal DHL logo, but on a white vehicle instead of a fully yellow one, you even put pictures for it, and it seems quite clear to me it's not white livery you asked for as an extra generic livery, in the last line of your post.

Yeah, let's not mix them up. I'm talking about that "DHL white logo" in the changelog and no about the blank one. I can't find that DHL on white vehicles (called "DHL white logo" in the changelog?), that's what I'm talking about.

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.
