Regarding 2, I just noticed this today as well. It looks like the cockpit windows are reflecting the ground directly beneath the cockpit floor. Seems to have appeared with the most recent update. I posted about this in a separate thread: https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/24562-large-lo-res-blobby-reflections-in-cockpit-windows/

Fired up FS2024 for the first time since the 12/20 update and the cockpit windows in the A300 premium look really odd. It almost looks like the inside of the windows is reflecting the ground directly underneath the cockpit. Very noticable on takeoff and landing, and seems to get a little better during cruise. I've probably done ~20 flights in the new A300 without issue before today, so it seems to have something to do with the latest update. Tried a few different liveries and variants, and the ugly reflections were present in all cases. Changing the 'cockpit window reflections' setting in MSFS seemed to have no effect. I even tried uninstalling and then redownloading the A300. See included screenshot. In this case, I've just taken off and the runway and taxiway directly underneath me is visible in the windscreen.
