# Retro Flight Simulator 2026 – V1.704a Patch Notes

### Manhattan Landmark Streaming Fix

This update fixes an issue where several original hand-built Manhattan landmarks could disappear when JFK was selected as the destination airport or when the simulator was reset at JFK.

### Changes

* Restored proper loading of major Manhattan landmarks at game startup. * Fixed the World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and other original Manhattan landmarks not appearing near JFK. * Integrated the original Manhattan landmark set into the standard landmark streaming system. * Manhattan landmarks can now unload correctly when far outside the active area and reload when returning to New York. * Fixed landmark reloading when approaching JFK after a long-distance flight. * Fixed landmark restoration after using Reset at JFK. * Prevented duplicate landmark generation during startup and streaming reloads. * Improved cleanup and reload handling for Manhattan landmark streaming. * Chinatown, SoHo, Midtown, and existing New York autogen areas remain unchanged.

These changes improve the reliability of New York scenery during departures, arrivals, resets, and long-distance flights.
