Hi, I don't think these points will be improved with a high priority because Laminar Research is a great but small team.
About the field of view though, for both X-plane 10 and 11, the key is to set the FOV (field of view) in X-plane graphic settings. I personnaly set it to 85°, but it's a very personal choice which depends on the aircraft you fly and on the screen resolution.
And indeed, trying the demo is the best idea.
