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.

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.
