[...] 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"?

No...it's because there's no "runway" on the top of the building on which
you tried to land. It's a question of how the scenery is configured.

Some buildings do have "runway" surfaces designed into their tops, so that
helicopters can land there, for example. If there's a building you want to
land on that doesn't have a "runway" on top of it, you need to use the
scenery editor to add one yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I guess my next question is, how can I know
ahead of time which buildings are landable?

Honestly, I can't think of an easier way than to try to land on them.
Seems to me you could probably figure it out in the scenery designer, but a)
I don't know that for sure, never having actually used the scenery designer,
and b) even if you can, it's not clear that it'd be easier than just flying
(or slewing) to various buildings and testing them out. I doubt that, even
if the designer provides access to the information, it provides any sort of
useful database search functionality that would allow you to quickly find
all landable buildings.

There might be another way, but if there is, it's not something I know of.
