Landscape-only mobile & the gear interlock c568f3d

Portrait mode on a phone was never going to work for a two-thumb flight sim — stick, throttle slider and fire cluster simply don't fit a tall narrow viewport. So mobile is now officially landscape-only: rotate to portrait and a full-screen overlay steps in front of everything, menus included, with an animated phone and a clear ROTATE YOUR DEVICE message. Every tap lands on the overlay (verified with elementFromPoint in the suite), so nothing behind it fires by accident; rotate back and the flight deck returns instantly. On Android the game goes further — after the fullscreen handshake it requests a real orientation lock, so the OS itself holds the phone sideways. iOS Safari doesn't allow that, so the overlay does the job there.

The same build ships a safety fix the virtual phone uncovered mid-suite: tapping GEAR while parked on the deck used to retract the gear and drop the jet onto its belly — a crash. The lever now has a weight-on-wheels interlock, exactly like the real jet: on the ground the gear stays down, with a WEIGHT ON WHEELS — GEAR STAYS DOWN warning if you try. Airborne, it works as before. The automated touch gate is now 41 checks — detection, menus, attract mode, map/plane select, quick-start, the interlock, throttle slider, brakes, stick axes, weapons, gun burst, airborne gear, views, pause, the portrait overlay and quit-to-menu — all green against a virtual iPhone driving the real game over CDP.
