This package will make a stunning difference to your flights around New York City. It includes 31 New York City bridges with POIs on the Hudson River, the East River, the Harlem River and Jamaica Bay beside JFK airport.
If Necessary use the Package Reorder tool and give the rkbridger package higher priority so that it is listed below other sceneries to eliminate conflicts.
Each bridge is individually modeled with accurate dimensions, and provides a very realistic representation of its style and architecture. Many of the bridges were built in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and have an ornate and complex iron girder structure as opposed to more modern bridges which are built in a much more minimalist fashion. Both styles have their beauty and many of the these bridges are architectural masterpieces. This makes the rendering of the bridges in all their glory so important for flight simulation. You get a much more immersive and realistic flight as well as the joy of the beauty of the bridges. You will be able to fly under any bridge.
All bridges have realistic night lighting so these landmarks can be seen easily when flying around New York at night.
Asobo has modeled the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge near the Statue of Liberty and these are not included in this package.

I love flying round NYC, and have visited. Will be going back soon, if I can get my UK passport in time. Love all the bridges, seen some for real. Superb detail.
Almost perfect! There are three bridges left out that makes me only give 4 stars. 3 of the 4 Staten Island bridges were left out. I fly around Staten Island often as I live here, and it always bothers me to see that these are the only NY bridges left out. As for the Verrazano, I would like to see it updated as well. I've seen a better looking freeware version. I hope it could be updated to look just as good. Otherwise all the other bridges look great!
Adds much more immersion when flying around NYC, the draw distance on the lighting is especially well done. No huge FPS impact with the stock photogrammetry, definitely recommend this pack!
Really like this package. Combined with the Samscene 3D New York City Times package, Manhattan is truly a magical place to fly in MSFS. I would rate it 5 stars but the impact on FPS cannot be ignored for those with lower-end systems. Although I have an i7 11th gen CPU and 3070, there is still about a 5-7 fps impact with this installed as compared to the Samscene package alone. So although this performance impact does not really reduce my personal enjoyment, it is something that must be considered if someone is running the sim on marginal hardware and waiting/hoping for GPU prices to return to some semblance of "normal" again.
The icing on the cake for my favorite place to fly.
Bridges are well-integrated into the photogrammetry scenery and the lighting at night is subtle but effective. All this with a very minimal frame hit (VR).
Worth every penny and highly recommended.
Off to buy the set for Newark next.
I accidentally deleted my community folder 2 days after you pulled them from .to so I was so glad that they were over here & not gone forever. New York would never be whole without these once you know they exist. Your work is really good I only wish the sim made seamless placement possible like ortho roads on water & such but still it's amazing how good flying is in 2021 & I have to remind myself. I have zero frame difference with these bridges on my rig but not expecting frame hits in NYC is naive. Again, no difference here. I'm from Boston originally so guess what else I'm getting ? Thanks !!
