I posted that because I find it annoying that people are saying that this effect is unrealistic when they have never set foot in a cockpit. If I went around talking like a knew a lot about engineering when I have no experience or education in engineering I would expect that people would refer to me as an idiot.
Some people in these forums really need to stop acting like know-it-alls and concern themselves with something within their intellectual capacity.
Oh and btw, putting your hand up to block the sun, making everything clear again, really does work like it does in the game. Go get some flight lessons and experience it for yourself. Until then please stop spreading disinformation.

I was flying a C172 one time in Northern CA coming back from a cross-country, and the sun was so bad I had trouble seeing the airport in front of us a few miles out, and I had sunglasses on.
Those who think the sun can't completely blind you have never been completely blinded by it. How's that for thought provoking? lol
