SamScene3D has released Version 2 of New York City Times for Microsoft Flight Simulator, delivering a significant update to one of the most iconic urban landscapes in the simulator. The new version is built specifically for MSFS2024, incorporating a range of improvements and new features that enhance the realism and immersion of New York City.
Version 2 includes over 300 custom iconic buildings, which is an increase of 50 compared to the previous version for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. These additions cover a vast array of well-known landmarks, including museums, malls, hotels, banks, towers, plazas, memorials, statues, universities, and hospitals, making the cityscape even more recognizable. SamScene3D has also focused on enhancing the Time Square area, with animating billboards and an updated year sign reflecting 2025.
More than 160 buildings now feature PBR and 4K texture materials, alongside better color adjustments and night lighting compared to the previous version. The bridges connecting Manhattan, such as the Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and Queensboro Bridge, are now highly detailed and include animated moving cable cars.
The new version is available for $17.95 USD excluding VAT. If you already own Version 1 for MSFS2020, you can upgrade to Version 2 for a reduced price of $5.95 USD excluding VAT. You can purchase and download the new version from Flightsim.to.
