I think DCS engine needs to be blamed more, than good readability of instruments. Lots of (bad) things were inherited from previous engines, some were fixed, but some just could not be fixed quickly. I think no cockpit shadowing and "incorrect" lightning fall into such category together with wrongly rendered water above sea level. However, eventually they will be fixed.
