Answering 'how do the panels split RGB into 3 monitors' from primary sources rather than inference: - content/GAUGE/L4GAUGE.CFG (the authentic 1996 pod config) configures each gauge port with a bit-plane mask AND A COLOUR CHANNEL: Comm=red, Mfd2=green, Heat=blue on clut2 (the upper row); Mfd1=red, Mfd3=green on clut1 (the lower row, blue spare); sec/radar = full rgb, rotation 270 (the portrait CRT). Eng1/2/3 are the engineering-page twins on the same monitors, swapped in/out via reconfigure() with 'blank'. - L4GraphicsPort::BuildSecondaryColor (L4VB16.cpp) proves the mechanism at T0: it walks the palette entries owned by the port's bit group and writes exactly ONE component (RedChannel->Red, GreenChannel->Green, BlueChannel->Blue, AllChannels->whole triplet); BlankColor blanks the group. So one palettized framebuffer emits three independent pictures on the R/G/B analog lines, and the splitter feeds each line to its own mono monitor -- which is also what the '1280x480 horizontally spanned' MFD surface actually is: two VGA outputs x three channels. Port consequence recorded: the per-panel window path (BT_POD_SURFACES) is right for per-panel outputs but WRONG for splitter-wired glass, which needs a channel-composite mode (three planes -> one RGB image, pure primary tints). ExpandPlaneToBGRA already does the per-plane half. Open: how Nick's cart is actually wired. Also lands the pod bring-up scratch (ssh helper, layout cfg, launcher, firestorm repo browser).

REM BT411 pod launch -- runs from the game's content dir in the CONSOLE session.
|
|
REM Started via schtasks /IT so the windows land on the REAL panels (an SSH
|
|
REM session is session 0 with a dummy display and would render nowhere).
|
|
cd /d C:\bt411\BT411_4.11.801\content
|
|
|
|
REM glass cockpit, per-display windows, POD surface mode (bare 640x480 pictures,
|
|
REM no on-screen button banks -- the cab's buttons are physical), sticky layout
|
|
REM loaded from glass_layout.cfg beside this file.
