Lens flare absolutely should not be there in first-person cockpit view; that is 100% incorrrect and wrong and makes the experience worse and less realistic.

Lens flare is really a thing of the past. Modern camera lenses have different filters that reduce flares to almost nothing. It looks like a cheap film camera from the 1970s.
If the blue taxi lights at night are too bright for you I find it helps to wear 3 sets of blue blocker sunglasses underneath my VR goggles…

Agreed, daft to have it for cockpit camera.

The lens flares are also quite ugly. I’d rather not have them anywhere.

Ugh the Bloom intensity also changes a lot during a flight. I spend a lot of time changing the displays brightness because the bloom/lightning intensity is changing all the time. Especially during dawn/dusk.

Wow those cockpit pics remind me of the time I kept my contact lenses in for three days solid.
I just do not get the obsession with light bloom on this sim.

This is atrocious. Voted. I am simulating not a camera, I am simulating human eyes. This absolutely cheapens the look of the sim. It was an option in FS2020, why remove it?

I would argue that lens flare should only exist when in camera mode.

Sure it’s not just really foggy? 
Wasn’t there an option in FS2020 for lens flare?
Bloom adjustment (or disabling) is needed, although I will say that the only time it has really bothered me is when flying over the Vegas Dome at night… you can’t even see the animation of the face because they bloom is so overpowering.
OP might want to separate this into two requests. Lens flare needs to go period. Bloom probably a significantly different discussion.

A bit silly to suggest removing a feature rather than implementing an option to toggle it.
Cinematic camera quirks look good for screenshots and are just generally eye candy.
Option to disable? Yeah!
Vote to remove? Absolutely not.

What i hate most now is that their wishlist list is so big that it felt off the list and now don’t know anymore if this is something planned in su1 or su2 or still being investigated?

Same goes for Filmgrain and other postprocessing.
You used to be able to disable them in the UserCFG file but those items have been removed…
Come on man

Ummm, that’s real lens flare. You can’t show a picture in the forum without it having been taken through a lens. In this case, an extremely dirty lens at that. This is NOT what you’d see with your eyes. Even through a dirty window.
