Well of course something can be done, like assign a key so a virtual thumb appears to blot the sun, just make sure it cannot be assignable to a hotas function or that won't be realistic at all, it seemed quite rare to see RAF goggles with tinted lenses (not sure about the germans)

Disagree, heard a plane fly over today, looked up, sun was too bright to see, put on my glasses, saw it.
well I am pretty sure sunglasses do not immunise you from the glare of the sun, I should know, you certainly won't be able to keep your eyes on target for long if the sun is directly in view, you might be better off using welding goggles.

Basically I think the sun glare in game is the closest to real life I've seen, but if we end up with the virtual thumb then everybody is happy.
