Landmarks of New York City (Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx)
NOTE: LOOK AT THE VIDEO WITH A KLGA (LA GUARDIA) APPROACH AT NIGHT [THANKS TO @furtheram FOR THE COURTESY]
Welcome to New York, probably the most impressive city in the world. After commemorating the sad events of September 11, 2001, I intended to build this scenario of landmarks for myself, but then decided to share it with the community.
For the sheer number of buildings that exist in this fabulous city, I've only included 48 iconic buildings/landmarks in this collection (original version had 25 models). I know I'm missing too many, but I just wanted to pay tribute to this city and its people and the United States in general, for its strength in those difficult times twenty years ago. In this collection you'll appreciate the newest, tallest and most expensive residential buildings that were constructed in the city in recent years.
I also include some sporting landmarks in Queens and also the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. You'll find the two main tennis stadiums at the Billy Jean King USTA Complex in Flushing, Queens, the Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums, both just before they were retrofitted with retractable roofs a few years ago. It is the site of the US Open, the fourth of the four major tennis tournaments in the world, which was held recently from August 30 to September 12.
BUILDINGS / LANDMARKS INCLUDED:
+ One World Trade Center
+ Yankee Stadium
+ Ravenswood Power Plant
+ Arthur Ashe Stadium

HELIPORTS:
The current MSFS photo-imagery of two of the heliports in Manhattan, the Blade West Heliport and the Manhattan Helicopters facilities (look for the included pictures to know their exact location), have been improved with the addition of buildings, helipads, lights, static helicopters and objects familiar with this type of facilities. Now these heliports can be used for landings and takeoffs from Manhattan. Please understand that they are not actually "airports" and have no parking spots to be selected from the MSFS menus.
Please take a look at the ReadMe file included in the download, as it contains further information regarding Credits, Installation Instructions, Dependencies and other useful recommendations.
Hope everyone downloads and enjoys wonderful New York City as much as I do.

This is a great enhancement to the New York skyline. Unfortunately it leaves a static helicopter half buried in the Manhatten heliport that is not there in the default. It would be great if that could be removed, or changed to ground height.

Hello can you please make a version without the WTC Buildings ? Because I have a mod for the old WTC Buildings (Twin Towers before 2001) I would like to combine this mod with the other would that work ? I would only need the whole without the WTC Buildings then my problem would be solved. Thanks in advance

Hi, sorry but the project has been closed already and its intent was to show NYC in its current state (2019 and beyond). What I suggest is to uninstall this scenery and work with the existing Manhattan photogrammetry, then adding your older WTC buildings.

Hi, is it possible to have "The Vessel - Hudson Yards" published alone?

The video shows the two towering lights as the WTC Memorial, but I dont see those in my sim. I have the two dependencies installed, but no lights.
edpatino author
The video was originally made by a simmer that I suppose has also installed another mod to add the two towering lights of the WTC Memorial. I would recommend a search on this site for such a mod. I did not include the WTC Memorial in these landmarks

Is this compatible with the SameScene NYC product? Thank U!
edpatino author
I don't have the payware, but I suppose they could conflict as several buildings could be duplicated

Thank you for this mod but New York without the Intrepid is really missing 😉
edpatino author
You mean the museum?. In fact, a lot of buildings are missing in this fabulous city, but if you take a look at the FAQ you'll know why.

Very Nice mod like flying over NYC occasionally and to have even more landmarks from NYC I recommend this highly.

When I downloaded this, it was not a zip file, therefore I could not extract it into the Community Folder. I'm still new to downloading addons so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
edpatino author
Don't understand what's the issue. I downloaded it a few minutes ago without problem, as a RAR archive. Please verify you have a zip extractor or the Winrar extractor itself installed on your PC. After the download, unzip the file and extract the folder (use the correct folder structure, so under your main folder you already have the layout and manifest files visible) to your CF as always.

Do ANY of the buildings have heliports on them, and what are they?
edpatino author
No, as far as I know. Please take a look at the pics to see the two heliports included.
