BT_GLASS is a compile-time #ifdef; getenv("BT_GLASS") appears nowhere in the
tree. The line rode along from the bring-up launcher into the frozen profile
and into the pod-hardware runbook, reading like the switch that turns the
glass path on. It never did anything -- the rig worked because glass is the
DEFAULT profile when nothing is set.
Replaced with BT_PLATFORM=glass (the real spelling, so the cart does not lean
on that default) and noted why NOT BT_PLATFORM=pod: the pod profile selects
the 1995 multi-surface gauge path, which needs the NVIDIA horizontal span no
modern driver has. Behaviourally identical -- both land gBTPlatformGlass=1.
Re-verified on the cart: 9 settings applied, GLASS profile, -fit borderless,
all three surfaces on their intended displays.

# ==== BT411 POD PROFILE (ALPHA-MR crash cart) ================================
|
|
# Frozen 2026-08-06 from the verified-good bring-up. Everything a launcher
|
|
# used to have to pass now lives here, so the rig comes up correct however
|
|
# the game is started -- shortcut, scheduled task or autostart.
|
|
# Physical mapping + the RGB-split decode: context/pod-hardware.md.
|
|
#
|
|
# The layout itself (which surface sits on which monitor) is in
|
|
# glass_layout.cfg beside this file, loaded by BT_GLASS_LAYOUT=load:
|
|
# Secondary / Radar = monitor:DISPLAY4 (colour LCD in the yellow frame)
|
|
# VGA Port A = monitor:DISPLAY2 (RGB triple: Heat + Comm + Mfd2)
|
|
# VGA Port B = monitor:DISPLAY1 (RGB triple: Mfd1 + Mfd3)
|
|
|
|
# Platform PROFILE. NB "glass", not "pod": BT_PLATFORM=pod selects the 1995
|
|
# multi-surface gauge path (exclusive-fullscreen D3D per adapter + the NVIDIA
|
|
# horizontal span), which no modern driver can do. What lights this cab is the
|
|
# GLASS profile plus the three switches below. (Glass is already the default
|
|
# when nothing is set -- named here so the rig never depends on that default.)
