MSFS is getting helicopter ready?

Few months ago I was trying to land on rooftops in Bell 47 just to find out that they are transparent and basically I just flew through them as they were no hard surface to land. Recently, without any mod or add just with default photogrammetry I'm able to land on rooftops in random building.

Here are few examples with H145

In my experience most of the tall buildings have landable hard-surface roofs, at least in the L.A. area, but specialized scenery does not. For instance, trying to land on the lawn in front of Griffith Observatory just results in sinking through to the hilltop it sits on.  I dont believe this is new.

But hey, if you feel it deserves an in -depth study just to be sure, I'm more than willing to join up in Multiplayer and we can divide up the work to land on as many rooftops as possible in '47's.  😄

I also tried to land to Palomar Hospital which is not it downtown of LA or San Diego. Palomar does has helipad IRL, and so I'm under impression that  it should be everywhere!

Hmm.  I will try a Medevac flight with the H145 from Sunset & Doheny ("Dead Man's Curve" crash site from the Jan & Dean song) to Cedars-Sinai medical center.  In the name of research, of course.
