Add new tx16s.lua view file with a native 800x480 layout designed for the TX16S MK3 touchscreen. Key changes: - New screen detection: TX16S = LCD_W >= 800 and LCD_H >= 480 - Full 800x480 HUD with procedural aircraft reference marks (no scaled bitmaps) - MIDSIZE text with 1px black outline for HUD speed/altitude/heading readouts - Four equal 200px bottom panel columns for gauges and GPS info - Touch support: tap cycles config pages, horizontal swipe toggles max values - Enlarged text, gauges, and orientation indicators sized for the larger display Existing 480x272 (Horus) and 480x320 (TX15) layouts are unchanged.
Touch improvements in iNav.lua: - Add drag-to-scroll using slideY accumulation with 40px threshold and remainder carry-over for proportional scrolling speed - Remove swipeUp/swipeDown handlers that conflicted with slideY during the same gesture, causing erratic scroll behavior Documentation updates in Getting-Started.md: - Add setup instructions for RadioMaster TX16S and other color touchscreen radios running EdgeTX v2.11+ - Document App Mode layout requirement (replaces Full screen) - Note about re-entering app mode after reboot - Remove reference to non-functional "Restore" widget option

If you're using this, PLEASE post a comment saying if you have tested it and it works fine for you. It looks like about a hundred people are currently using it, but we can't get one person to say that here, so it can be merged. |

I'm using it on the mk3 and it's working fine. The only thing I would add to your last docs change commit.
To this -
When updating to the EdgeTX pre 3.0 nightly's. I've found movement of the roll stick to the left was also required to allow screen toggling again, after the telemetry widgets setup menu was exited.

Ive used this and it seems to work fine on stock tx16s mk3 |

I don't think that this is ready to be merged even if it works, the visuals are not adapted very well. I modifyed the layout for the TX15 and made better use of the vertical space: 
The same can be done here. Look at the "y" from battery, it is literally going into the bar at the bottom. These need to be spaced a lot further apart. Same with the "25mW", it is cut off and the line spacing below those values is not adequate either. For example, for the TX15 I also made use of the space to add a small "S" for south at the bottom of the compass, which can be done here as well for sure, since there is a lot of space. My suggesttion: maybe look into the code for the TX15 radio from my PR and try to pull something from that: I don't have a TX16 MK3 yet, but when I do in the next few months, I can try to have a go at this and get it sorted. I would aim for something like this (this is just a quick edit in MS Paint):

@dzaro-dev I hadn't picked up on them as such. But I see what you're saying from a point of tidiness. |

@Jetrell Yes, I agree, the scaling of the virtual horizon looks decent. I would just point out one more thing that also needs to be tidied up - look at these numbers: 
They should be in a box that is overlaying the background, like in the original: 
And the background of the map is green on the original, here it is blue. After that, it will be perfect! |
