This doesn't really help if you're still using FS2002, but I've found in
most of the big cities in FS9, most any large building with a flat roof is
can be used as a helipad. Specifically in NYC, near ground zero, I can land
on all of the skyscrapers with flat roofs.

Having gotten my rudder-pedals set up, I fired up FS2002 with the idea
of landing commandos on top of buildings in Manhattan. I surprised
myself (though probably only I would have been surprised) by my
ability to even get as close as I did to buildings. However, instead
of touching down, I fell through the tops of skyscrapers. Is this
because (as a newbie, sad to say) I turned off "crashing"?


That sounds about right. A few nights back, I returned to NY in an
AH-1, and managed to "touch down" on buildings. However, I haven't
gotten refined my hover skills, and come in too fast that I end up
bouncing off buildings.
