Just one quickie :
It would be nice if some reflections, sun shining on the plexiglass would be present. The shadows on the instruments are nice, but the plexiglass somehow lacks life-likeness... its like in Il-2 completely transparent.
If possible, some distortion of objects where the glass curves would be nice... it would make the feeling of the aircrafts motion far more believable!
Third, the weathering/aging of the cockpit instruments and the cockpit in general is nice, but it would be great if not only the external view would show such an effect, but also the the cockpit instruments... all the screenshots I've seen show only greatly used cockpits, where the paint is chipped etc.. in reality, many of these planes were practically brand new, fresh from the factory, and lifespan at the frontline for aircraft was only a couple of dozen hours.. they simply did not have time to age so much. So greatly weathered cocpits looks a bit unrealistic, and it would be possibly better if the instruments would weather only gradually to brand new to used one... I take this is simply solved by gradually overlaying brand new/used textures?
