2023 UPDATE:
I have discovered a new love in MSFS... Helicopters.
As you may or may not know, MSFS now supports helicopters. That said, I have discovered that many of the default buildings and scenery actually have helipads showing when you have photogrammetry active... and most, if not all, of the "rooftop" helipads are indeed landable. I am working on files now to enhance some of the FAA listed pads in the Midwest states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Niorth and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and a special package of the Chicagoland area. That involves assigning the Helipads to an "airport" and adding helipads to make the heliport seachable and visible on the map, and be able to set up "flights" to any given heliport. Windsocks, and other items as well as lighting are also being added as required. The table below shows what I am working on and the progress being made. The learning curve to flying helicopters in MSFS is a bit more challenging than conventional aircraft, but there is no better way to explore.
