I'd be willing to bet that Fly! was not referring to the oil that appears on the windscreen after taking a hit in the engine. I thought he was referring to the funky reflections you see on the inside of the canopy when the sun is shinning in the cockpit fron certain angles.
It used to be present in a couple of the later models of the 109 IIRC. I think what happened was that an artist in Oleg's employ, was given a bunch of pictures of these various cockpits, and told to reproduce them, which he did faithfully. They screemed so loudly about the 109's canopy, it was eventually cleaned up, and I believe that the Grumann's cockpits were once much worse than they are right now.
As annoying as it is, I can truthfully say that, as a professional pilot I find it very realistic. Annoying, yes, but very realistic.
