There's an adjustable brightness control under the gunsight, click on it with the mouse to manipulate it and it will make it easier to see the sight.
As for the rest, it takes a bit of time to get used to the new cockpits but after a while, i find it's much easier to shoot than it was with the previous IL2 series (more detailed graphics give me a better sense of speed, angles, closure rate and so on), to the point that i don't even center the view on the gunsight sometimes. I just roughly know where its center is by looking at the rest of it.
It's a matter of habit and some practice and will come naturally to you after clocking up a few sorties.
