User + tester reports: pitch does not work. Root cause: the Torso sim
integrated the R/F / stick-Y axis into currentElevation (authored limits
and rates all correct) but NOTHING consumed it -- eyepointRotation's only
writer was the look-state switch, so neither the cockpit view nor the aim
ray (camera basis) ever pitched. Shots always flew level; low targets
(trucks) were unhittable.
Fix (faithful: the pod's stick-Y pitches the EYE; the torso geometry does
not tilt): per-frame compose in the HUD tick --
eyepointRotation = EulerAngles(lookPitch + torsoElevation, lookYaw, 0);
BTCommitLookState now stores its look component in gBTLookPitch/Yaw; new
complete-type bridge BTGetTorsoElevation (torso.cpp, mirrors
BTGetTorsoTwist). DPLEyeRenderable consumes it every frame, so the view
and the boresight aim pitch together (crosshair stays screen-centred).
Sign PIXEL-CALIBRATED via new diag BT_FORCE_ELEV=<-1..1> (pins the axis
headless): screenshots confirm axis +1 (key R) = aim UP, -1 (F) = down.
X still recenters. Awaiting human verification.
