Keep it up and try your best to ignore some of the ignorant people on the forums. Great job guys.

Surely this effect is not realistic at dawn and dusk? At midday sure. But looking directly at the sun on the horizon is beautiful in real life not blinding.

Glare from sun, you can't imagine how it is in a lightning storm. VFR has it's problems that is sure. Sunglasses, tinted windows only work to subdue the light. Fly IFR and block the sun. It works too.

Autopilot can't see... so he will fly you past the glare problems flying in modern day aircraft.

As it happends, just yesterday I was on VFR flight approaching the airfield directly the evening sun shining on my eyes. There was no hope to see anything on forward view. I made some turns from side to side in order to see something on forward view. I had to resort to use VOR radial to guide the approach vector and keep enough altitude to be sure not to collide anything nasty below. Luckily near the landing pattern the visuals came back. This was in controlled airspace so I was on good hands anyways.
