Tribute in Light is a commemorative public art installation first presented six months after 9/11 and then every year thereafter, from dusk to dawn, on the night of September 11. It has become an iconic symbol that both honors those killed and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of New York.
About the Tribute
Assembled on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage south of the 9/11 Memorial, the twin beams reach up to four miles into the sky and are comprised of eighty-eight 7,000-watt xenon lightbulbs positioned into two 48-foot squares, echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers. The installation can also be viewed from a 60-mile radius around lower Manhattan.

Thanks for the comment. But, look again. The lights assembled on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage south of the 9/11 Memorial. They are not actually installed on the memorial itself. See the link in the description.

Wow this is great stuff... REAL LIGHTS too... I once released a LUXOR SKY BEAM for x-plane in las vegas... which I had to use a texture to achieve this look. from the looks this is a real LIGHT being shined. WELL DONE

I still remember watching these despicable events unfold on TV one day after school here in Western Australia, and even though I was about 10 years old I still remember it like it was yesterday. A great way to honor those so unfortunately caught up in this act of shear terror. Fantastic work it looks brilliant.

Beautiful touch making this. I was only a baby when 9/11 happened but I was actually supposed to be in NY during the horrific attack, but I got ill so we got one of the last flights back to where we live. I think regularly how fortunate we were to of been lucky to not be witnessing it in person but also to think of those who lost their lives that day.

Honourable idea to bring this memorial into MSFS on such a day of sadness,
but sorry to mention: At least in my case it is in the wrong position. Might it have to do with the Samscene Landmarks Addon I use?https://up.picr.de/42027012np.jpg
Forget my remark before, I compared to webcam pictures and the position is correct. I thought the light squares you can see in my picture right beside of One WT are the light installations. Sorry for causing confusion.

Yea those squares are the big waterfalls sitting in the place of the WTC's. The lights are coming off of the parking garage above the road. For a long time I thought that the lights were coming from the waterfalls too though.

Thank you for adding this to the sim! It adds a lot more immersion flying over NYC and has been done in completely fair and honorable taste with the 20th anniversary coming up very soon. I hope this does not generate any unnecessary controversy and politics as there are a number of toxic people here, but even if they choose to comment do not encourage them and just let the sleeping dogs lie all they want. What matters more than petty politics is how we pay tribute to the innocent lives lost and first responders being heroes on that day.
