Sadly true. What's really annoying is that some of the world's buildings
have nice inviting helipads painted atop them, but they're just there
for show. You'll pass through the building if you try to land on them.
Back in FS2000 and earlier, Two World Trade Center was one of the few
locations where the helipad was solid, but alas it was removed for
FS2002.

Oddly, while most buildings seem to be hollow, a lot of the bridges I've
tried DO seem to have 'runway' surfaces even though only a lunatic would
attempt to land on them in real life. Hardly 'as real as it gets'.

Does anyone know if there are any tutorial web pages out there that
detail how to find a particular building in the default scenery and add
a land-able surface?
