Similarly if you look up into the bright sky for a few seconds, and then look back down to earth, it'd be great if it took a couple of moments for your eyes to adjust to the darker lighting.

I would stipulate to being able to just hide in the sun. Also, to the AI being unable to see you hiding in the sun.

As for the rest of it...BLOOM can be a resource/render hog, as far as a temporary "blindness" from the sun....I don't know I fly in RL and the sun is always there and you just get "used" to it...you have to look at it especially out on the West Coast it seem like every evening approach is into the sun. Dirty, bug soaked wind screen, lots of scratches, and that nice setting sun on final! I sure don't need that in the sim....to enjoy it...there are other things that require that kind of polish; I guess if everything else is perfect you could try modeling that in a sim.
