I have been trying the sim out now.  Note I still run Fs2004 and love it.
In the MSFS2020 I believe to make it more for training, these features should be added

In FS2004 we had Map option.
   In here we were able to see all the navaid near an airport and obtain there frequencies.  Also we were able too drag the aircraft anywhere on the map  and start from that point by setting heading, altitude, speed.
This was great feature for practicing approaches quickly.

Also in map we were able to see the flight track we just flew and see how we did say on an ILS.  Fantastic feature.

Next: Views:
  Panning is great, but miss the ability to hit Shift and the arrow keys to quickly look from side to side back and forth .

Next:  Cockpit seating:
  We had the keys Shift and Enter to move up the seat and Shift Backspace to move down the seat.
Cntl and Enter moved forward the seat and Cntl Backspace move back the seat.

These would be great options to incorporate in future releases.  

Next:  Docable windows.  
It is very hard to change radio knobs while you are flying Be good to pop up window so you can do quickly.  Especially when instrument flying.  

I have been flight sim  and real flying for a long time and Flight sim kept me in practice when not in the air.  
Hope they can be incorporated in future releases

Cockpit seating is well implemented. You can move your eyepoint anywhere.

1) I know we have the VFR map don't know if that does everything you want it to do but I do find it helpful

2) Use the Ctrl+ Arrow Keys for the quickviews 🙂

3) I don't think there is a seat button but you can use the arrow keys to adjust your cockpit view

4) I know there is a way to dock and undock windows I forget what it is but I am sure another user will pop in and tell you

Cai how do I do that move view point?  I setup buttom to pan left right etch and button to center again.

To undock: hover mouse pointer over desired instrument, the right side alt, click right mouse button

To adjust cockpit view, go to "Options", "General", "Cockpit Camera".  Look for Height, and Horizontal Position.

Ok will try sevenflyer. Thanks for the response

Thank CMcollazo71,  will try that tonight to undock radio stack

There is no option to "undock" instruments like in previous version. You can undock the display only but not the gauge. 

tried it last night. On the C152 mouse over comm radio and hit alt (right)  It display in a new window, but the bottoms to change the freq did not appear

You can use Ctrl with arrows to quickly look around.

 

From the seat, hit space and it lifts you up a bit to see over the nose.

 

But I agree a map would be nice, even if you couldn't drag the aircraft, just to get info.

Yes, It is the display only and not the complete gauge.

I believe lot of things need improving to sim to make it more a platform for real flying
