Cockpit Glass shading

If you would open the canopy (or fly a convertible like the fiat) then you could see the difference, but not when your whole vision is covered by the same glass.

I think a better simulation would be to have the glass darkening effect disappear once you close the cockpit and make it 100% transparent (except some shadows maybe). When opening the cockpit the glass could appear a bit darker after a moment... This would oppose the effect you have now and encourage you to fly with the canopy closed

That's what I exactly said in the opening post, but I'm glad that we agree.
