Thanks for your comments.

I'm planning to add close to 20 more buildings in an upcoming update next week, probably earlier.

Ed, I didn't realize this was your doing, wow look at you hiding those talents!!  Awesome work, thank you so much!  "Any" chance of showing the NY heliports some love 🙂   We've got a few reasons to use them now especially with the Robinson this am!  

Thank you Ed!

Thanks Paul for your kind words.

Will look into the NY heliports, it would be something nice to add.

I know one heliport open to the general public that was located on the shore near Hudson river that I took for a ride with my family some years ago. That was really scary. I'll never forget my wife asked the pilot to stay in front of the Empire State building (at 3,000 ft) for a minute to take some pictures and the pilot put that machine inclined at 45 deg towards the building and at that moment I felt everybody was about to slide down the cabin. And to that, you'd have to add the persistent side movement of the helicopter that made us feel sick during the entire ride. Never again!.

In case my earlier question was missed, is there any chance this could be made possible with Sam Scenes New York scenery? Cheers.

Sorry I miss your post. I don't have Samscene NYC, and I know they added more than 200 buildings or so, and did a very nice and complete job overall. No way to know which of the buildings are duplicated.

Brilliant work Ed, thank you for this 👍

Sincere thanks for this Ed.  Some people have commented it looks too grey, but I think it is about right. 

Some of the commercial packs for the cities are too strong on the colours I think - they look like a cartoon compared to yours!

This is brilliant, Ed. Thank you.

The only thing that lets NYC down now for me is the majority of bridges. There's a bridge pack for sale at Sim Market but I think it's about £20. Seems a little pricey but that's all in the eye of the beholder, of course.

Great job sir.

I hope the Coney Island Parachute Jump gets your attention in a future version!

Thanks.

Just be aware that this is only a sample of a payware product. Only one out of the 29 available Bridges is included in this sample.

You are referring to the "Henry Hudson" product. But there are a number of free add-ons available that cover most if not all the NYC-area bridges, e.g. Verrazano-Narrows, George Washington, Tappan Zee, etc.

I'm aware of some others, but a bit wary about them all working together.....

[cobalt 798]

I have had no problems -- they seem to work well as far as I can tell.

I think the author pulled those and made them into a payware package.

[cobalt 798]

Hmmm -- I didn't know that. It must have been fairly recent because I got them as freeware!
