You should contact the dev.
Some of the building are missing textures on their facias and roofs, that’s why they have pink checkerboards(unless they’re like that in real life which I doubt).
Completed my penultimate leg of my west to east crossing of the US following i80. 1 hour left to go.

Currently doing my first long haul flight.
EIDW (Dublin) to KAUS (Austin)
I’m using the Headwind A330-900neo
I’m also using FS2Crew A32nx with the A330 and most of it works perfectly

I flew the pleasure flight around the Bay of Naples - having been to Pompeii, Herculaneum and walked up Mt Vesuvius, I was excited to see how the ancient Roman towns looked.
Sadly they we’rent there - well the Pompeii amphitheatre and theatre “shapes” were there, but sweet FA otherwise.
I can’t imagine why they would release a scenic flight around the Bay of Naples and fail to add some of the most important landmarks. Similar scenario to when I flew around London - and no Buckingham palace - just an office block.
I generally (still) spend more time trying to configure MSFS than fly it - and when I do, it’s just so bloody disappointing.
A 51 minute, CTD free flight from John Wayne KSNA to Chandler, AZ KCHD in gorgeous weather and great scenery. Incident free until I was just about to park - when it started yelling at me about a lost connection. Other than that, a great flight! YT link to approach and landing:

I was experiencing azure lost connection several times today so it’s not only you
I think Bredok3D has a livery for you to use 
and Leslie Nielsen will keep poking his head into the cockpit saying the passengers are all counting on you.

If you have a 707 with prop sounds
Earlier today I took the DC Designs F-15C up for a high speed run. I loaded up with about 60% internal fuel and no external stores, took off out of KNKX MIramar MCAS (formerly NAS) headed west at full military power, climbing to about FL200. Once there, I engaged full afterburners and started climbing. I maxed out at about Mach 2.45 and FL510 when I realized I ought to be concerned about having enough gas to get back. I know I could “cheat” by using the in-cockpit refueling option or use the Payload Manager on the Toolbar, but I decided to try to make it myself. I landed with about 6% fuel remaining. Whew!
I then parked on the flightline and tried to blend in. 
Then I thought better of it and decided to call in the USAF Security Police before some Navy puke or Marine jarhead decided to steal my jet.

I followed South Iceland coastal flight from World Tour flights. Snowy and cold but had some great views on the way.

My Bing wallpaper today was a stunning photograph of the 3,500 year old mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt, a place I visited as a child with my parents (I’m so old it was not that long after it was built).
Anyway, I thought I’d check it out in MSFS and so, knowing roughly where it is, I spawned in mid air in the Stearman biplane for a look see. I found it reasonably quickly and although it’s not well modelled in the sim yet, it was still very moving. In fact, tootling up and down the Nile in a 1930s biplane in VR is the perfect way to relax and let one’s imagination drift back to the days of the great explorers, or even Indiana Jones.
This was the photograph that inspired me to go look at dawn:

The multiplayer does not give you the possibility to find other pilots with whom you can fly together. Even the MP from FSX was better. There was a “briefing room”.
The people who programmed this simulator don’t play it themselves or have no idea.
I checked out who was live at YT, joined him, and we went on a flight together. Although we don’t know each other and it was fun.

Whilst we wait for an Italy WU there are good addons for Pompeii and Herculaneum on flightsim.to
(PS apologies if you got a notification saying I had flagged your post - fat fingers at this end!)

You can, kind of, but its fiddlly, unreliable, and definitely not official.
If you use Cheat Engine, you can search for the ASCII characters of a pilots name when on the map screen. Embedded in there are some details of that person, the plane they are in, their altitude as well as I think the airport they are at. It may also have their lat/long embedded somewhere.
I’m surprised no-one has written a tool to scrape this information into an easier to read format yet.
Another issue is that I don’t believe this is global information, and only shows people in the vicinity of the airport you last clicked on, so it could take a lot of bouncing around the world to find someone. Plus it will only show the people on your particular server.
I’m currently quite taken with the add-on ‘A Pilot’s Life’ that basically simulates just that. It generates me schedules and hence brings me to places I probably wouldn’t have picked myself. I’m currently employed at KLM Cityhopper and the schedule directed me into Trondheim (ENVA) which is situated in central-Norway. Had some pretty rough weather getting in but nothing an A32N can’t handle of course.
Did a short turn-around for 25 minutes and then returned back to Amsterdam Schiphol airport (EHAM).
