Make the in-fork glass cockpit fully interactive and finish the lamp model.
- Click-to-press: clicking a button's region in a VDB head window presses that
RIO address into the game (lights white-hot while held, releases on mouse-up).
vpxlog rt_wndproc hit-tests the click against the bezel geometry (MFD 4 top /
4 bottom, radar 6 left / 6 right; the radar bottom indicators are display-only,
not clickable); head windows are tagged via GWLP_USERDATA. Clicks arrive on the
VPX render thread, so the seam serialrio RIO_HostButton() queues them under a
mutex and pollInput() drains them on the emu tick through the same incHold/
decHold path as the keyboard/pad -- so a click also lights the bezel.
- Flash blink: decode the lamp byte's flash bits (RioLampState 1 slow / 2 med /
3 fast) -- an unpressed flashing lamp now toggles between its brightness level
and off (half-periods 500/250/125ms); solid lamps unchanged, a press still wins.
- Focus: head windows are WS_EX_NOACTIVATE so a button click never pulls
foreground off DOSBox (which would demote the emu thread and stop SDL polling
the pad); a click uses MA_NOACTIVATE too. Do NOT enable SDL background joystick
events -- that raced the emu-thread controller poll against SDL's main-thread
pump and crashed the process.
Explode layout only, and only when a serial=rio port is present.

Draw the cockpit RIO buttons around the mono-MFD and radar heads (explode
layout), lit by the host-commanded lamp state -- the display side of the
in-fork glass cockpit. Live-validated 2026-07-24 (operator).
- vpxlog.cpp: per-head button bezel in pal_draw, reading serialrio's new
RIO_GetPanelState seam. The 5 MFD heads get red buttons (4 top / 4 bottom,
100px tall tucked under a grown 640x500 display so a 10px lip shows); the
radar gets amber Secondary/Screen side columns (6x 104px each) plus a
centered bottom indicator strip (the 4 spares). Lamp byte decoded to
off/dim/bright (vRIO RioLampState, brighter of the two brightness fields);
a press shows white-hot. No labels -- the MFD shows each button's function.
Also swapped the two upper-outer MFD window NAMES to match their (already
position-swapped) desktop locations.
- serialrio.{cpp,h}: RIO_GetPanelState(lamps, pressed) accessor -- returns
false when no rio port, so non-rio configs and other heads render normally.
- pod-launch: in explode (dev) layout the Division bridge is a normal, freely
movable window -- not pinned topmost (Focus.cs) and nudged to 8,40 so its
title bar clears the top of the screen (its client was at 0,0, pushing the
frame off-screen). Cockpit/kiosk keeps the topmost + 0,0 borderless look.
Only affects the explode layout and only when a serial=rio port is present.

Emulate the cockpit RIO board natively inside the DOSBox-X fork, driven by
an SDL game controller + host keyboard -- no external vRIO process and no
named pipe. The game<->board round trip runs in-process at the emulated
UART's own cadence, so the serial round-trip dropouts (livelock, TXMAXIDLE,
rxburst, 15s retry) can't occur.
- serialrio.{cpp,h}: RIO 9600-8N1 device state machine + protocol codec +
input mapping, transcribed from the vRIO app (VRioDevice + Protocol +
InputRouter/BindingProfileFormat), minus transport/pacer/UI/locks.
B0 = gamepad (5 axes + joystick column). B1 = keyboard field: MFD banks on
the letter rows, F-keys = Secondary/Screen, numpad = flight controls,
LShift/LCtrl throttle slew; PAUSE/ScrollLock toggle panel<->DOS; vRIO-
grammar bindings file via bindings:/VWE_RIO_BINDINGS.
- vpx-device/README.md: device notes + apply steps (the DOSBox-X src tree is
git-ignored, so this dir is the tracked source of truth; the three sdlmain
keyboard-hook edits are documented there).
- net_{loop,rp}_rio.conf + deploy templates; render-bridge/
gauge_arena_rio_sound.conf (standalone -egg trim); pod-launch --rio
(mutually exclusive with --pipe).
Additive: real pods keep directserial realport:COM1; vRIO-over-pipe keeps
namedpipe pipe:vrio. Validated live 2026-07-22 (pad + keyboard field +
console networking) on the dist install.
