Jetway logos are not "fictional", they ARE what the airline actually use, perhaps less in the US, but more in the rest of the world. The 4:1 aspect ratio is used  by all GSX vehicles so,  using that was convenient to reduce an uncontrolled proliferations of textures. In fact, lots of jetways around the world use even more longer aspect ratios, like 6:1 or even 8:1 to cover the entire length of the jetway, considering there are many models of different length, if we wanted to do what you are asking, that is an impossible idea of "perfection", we would need THOSE ones, in addition to the 1:1, 2:1, 3:1.

And again, each new aspect ratio would require:

- New jetway model variations, with different backside panels for each aspect ratio

- A number of extra textures for 318 jetway operators, multiplied by each desired aspect ratio. Supporting 5 extra ratios in addition to 4:1 would require adding 1590 new textures. Each one of them checked and eventually adapted to the various aspect ratios.

You don't need our permission to share something you made.

But, they are fictional lol. Where on earth does United or Southwest have a jetway logo looking anything like the GSX versions? Outside the US, neither of those carriers has a jetway logo, and in the US, they look like my 2 examples I posted...that is my point. The ones provided by GSX are fictional, they don't look anything like the ones I posted now do they? LOL, I mean if you can show me one airport where a United or Southwest jetway logo just say UNITED or SOUTHWEST all across a bridge and don't look like my examples, sure, but I don't think this is the case my friend.

Perhaps you don't understand what I am saying. EVEN IF you were to have to stretch out the logos...they are still not the ones used by the airline! They use a different design, not just a different ratio...look at my photos, look at your stock GSX logos. Do you not see it? Let's pretend you take the provided GSX logo and make it the real life jetway ratio used on United's jetways. Does it now look like real life, or is it still a different design? If United doesn't use the GSX logo on a single bridge in the world, then it is fictional...

And what I meant by sharing was it would appear that since I can't add custom logos, the only way to get my own custom logos in my sim (or anyone else's) would be to have them included buy the FSDT team in an update, correct?

Maybe this will clear things up. Look at the AA standard gate logo in GSX vs real life. Ratio aside, the AA logo is the word "AMERICAN" on the bottom and the logo centered atop the word. The GSX logo has a faded AA logo for some reason, you can barely see the word American (and it is not on the bottom), and the logo to is to the far right. So it is a different design.

Even so, this one is more similar that United and Southwest which look really nothing at all like real life on the GSX bridges which is why I used them as examples in my first post. I am asking why if you bother to create an American, United, Southwest etc logo at all do you not look at an actual picture of the standard jetway logos and then make THAT logo (but in your required ratio) rather than making a fake fantasy logo that looks nothing like any bridge used by that carrier? Becuase now we are more or less stuck with the stock options, and I can live with a fake ratio, but not a totally fake design that is my point man lol.

There wasn't any need to clear anything. And "ratio aside" ? Ratio IS EVERTHING and IS the reason why logos are made this way, which I think I explained quite clearly all the sound reasons why, when deciding for a single ratio, which one to use because, as I've said, while in the US a 2:1 or even 1:1 is more common, in the rest of the world, even 4:1 is not enough, and most logos cover the whole jetway lenghts.

That's why, as I've said already, the 4:1 is the best possible compromise.

Would be nice to have extra ratios ? Sure, and I already explained what the issues would be in case we wanted to have multiple aspect ratios.

You are not even supposed to see the word American, because that's NOT an AA Logo! It's an American Airlines JETWAY AD!
