As I recall the deal on this is that you can't land on "custom" scenery objects, but you can land on buildings/etc. that are made from "stock" textures. Or something like that 8^) . But based on my experience, Alcatraz is very helicopter-unfriendly.Downtown San Jose seems to work fine in this regard, BTW.Dave Blevins
