How to Wing-suit from Financial District to Azoria

Using the Spider-Man 2 wing-suit to get from the Financial District over to Azoria requires some serious airtime. To get that, you need to rely on a couple of new mechanics: the Super Slingshot skill and more than one Wind Tunnel. Get to the Financial District, which you can fast-travel to if you've unlocked enough of the area, to get started.

To glide all the way from the Financial District to Astoria, the best way involves simply setting a waypoint at the bottom-left of Astoria (it's the top of the new area) for guidance, getting up onto a tall building in the middle of the Financial District, and using its Super Slingshot point to fire you toward your target at high speeds.

Before you trigger the Super Slingshot on the tall middle building of the Financial District, just confirm that it'll springboard you in the necessary direction.

Once you shoot your shot, you should notice a wind tunnel going north along the streets close to the river. Take that wind tunnel and follow it to the second along the river itself. Continue north for a while and you should land just a few hundred metres from Astoria itself. Easy.
