The main game window becomes the cockpit shell (enlarged, clipping
children); every display folds in as a chrome-less child pane in the
pod interior arrangement:
[ MFD UL ] [ MFD UC ] [ MFD UR ]
[ plasma (reduced) ][ viewscreen (centered) ]
[ MFD LL ] [ Map ] [ MFD LR ]
The 3D scene presents into a black STATIC viewscreen child via
Present's hDestWindowOverride (new gMainPresentWindow global) - no
swap-chain changes, and STATIC's transparent hit-testing keeps mouse
input over the 3D view flowing to the game window. MFDSplitView gains a
parent/child mode; PlasmaScreen::Position reparents the glass into the
shell. Main window class background goes black for the cockpit gaps.
Verified by screenshot: live green gauges (LIFT CUT / BOOST / CHUTE /
trigger-program screens) with their red button strips, the 3D canyon in
the centered viewscreen, plasma score glass at its left, map with lit
amber preset lamps - one window, 976x1132 client at 50% scale.

The pod drove five monochrome MFDs from the color channels of two video
outputs - SVGA16 packs bit-slices of the shared gauge canvas into R/G/B
of gauge window 3 (upper MFDs) and R/G of window 4 (lower MFDs), with the
map palettized on the secondary and physically mounted portrait. The
desktop reconstruction previously required an external BitBlt-mirror
wrapper.
With L4MFDSPLIT=1, SVGA16 renders each display into its own window
(MFDSplitView, plain GDI) straight from the canvas + port bit-masks:
five green-screen MFD windows and the 90CW-rotated Map, tiled in the pod
grid to the right of the main view (L4MFDSCALE percent, default 50). The
packed D3D windows stay hidden but keep presenting off-screen, leaving
the original path untouched. Handles spanning mode (2-window setups).
Also: the plasma glass now opens directly below the main view (clamped
to the work area; L4PLASMAPOS=x,y overrides) per playtest feedback.
Verified: window grid comes up as main + 5 MFDs + Map + plasma with the
packed windows hidden; screenshots confirm a green MFD score readout and
the portrait tactical map rendering correctly. dist packer and BUILD.md
updated; the launcher wrapper is obsolete for split-mode use.

Imports the current Win32 source for the pod-racing game 'Red Planet',
built on the MUNGA engine and its L4 (Win32/DirectX) platform layer:
- MUNGA / MUNGA_L4: cross-platform engine core and Win32 backend
- RP / RP_L4: Red Planet game logic and Win32 application
- DivLoader, Setup1: asset loader and installer project
- lib, MUNGA_L4/openal, MUNGA_L4/sos: third-party audio dependencies
Removed stale Subversion metadata and added .gitignore/.gitattributes.
