• Multiple view windows for multiple monitors
•  Nav map grab plane and move it to chosen spot and altitude
• Full screen view without plane / cockpit or with just selected instruments

No, it is not just you...You named EXACTLY what I miss...To add some more: Missing replay function, I use it all the time! Or fast switching an airplane, or the time of the day, or airport change.

At this moment my opinion is: For the DIY cockpit people it is a no-go. I think (or hope) there will be some progress when FSUIPC is functional for example.

This is my concern as well. Feels like an XBOX game to be honest. The flight model feels good, the scenery is excellent overall, but the available customization in terms of camera views and controllers is a major concern. Maybe FSUIPC can fix some of the controller issues (I've not tried yet), but to say I'm disappointed with the camera customization is an understatement. I hope I'm missing something and that I'm completely wrong on this.
