Effect of the sun -- you mean cockpit self shading?

Or possibly sun glare. I've noticed that sometimes sun glare effects persist in external view when the game is paused, even when you pivot so you're not facing the sun. Not only is it somewhat unrealistic, it also messes up screen shots.

Lens flare effects can be turned off in the conf.ini.

Yes! Shadows in the cockpit.
No, unfortunately seems that the old IL2 game engine does not suport this. But Mr. Avala has proposed something called "cockpit shining" in which the cockpit gets brighter or darker depending on the angle of incidence of light. Good effect! Better than nothing. Don't know about the current status of this work, assuming it was not canceled...

That is called "self shadowing". It's actually fairly complex as I've been told to do that unless the 3D engine was designed for it from the start.
