+1 I'd think that real aircraft engineers would seek to minimize these effects, and that they would manifest significantly in some but not all lighting conditions. In any case, I greatly dislike these glare/reflection effects on instruments and interior windows, though many effects might be made more user-friendly if the effect was diminished or made more transparent. I know enough to be able to remove these effects from models, but it can be tedious and lots of folks either aren't that handy with modeling or don't have the time.
