Normandy task: 3P standing animation (inside C-47)

Right now, all people inside the C47 use the same standing animation as is used in the LCVP:
The "pilot" uses the same as well, however, this doesn't look good on him as his arms are spread wide. I think this has to do with BF2 wanting to let the player hold on to something, like a steering wheel or joystick and this animation sort of expects you to hold a weapon, like the rest of the passengers.
Question: Could someone create a simple 3P "pilot" animation where he's simply standing, not holding anything?
Passengers
Of course we could use this same animation for the passengers too. Or something similar. But it's not an issue, passengers holding their weapon. The only downside for the passengers at this point, is that BF2 puts the camera of a soldier in their chest, not in their head, so as a passenger, you'll see all the others at chest level:

Shameless bump.

You can fix the current pilot animation by giving him a fake weapon with an IK component, allowing you to position the arms however you want. I did this with some jeep variants I made. Here's the relevant code as an example.
The PCO:
Code: Select all

The fake weapon:

True, but you wouldn't be standing

Objects/Vehicles/Common/Animations/3p_codriver_A_animSys.inc
If you use this, he sits, doesn't he?

Of course. That code is for a jeep. I was just using that as an example of how to do it. The same method should work for the pilot animations.

And that's why I'm looking for a standing animation instead
.
Arms indeed can be positioned using the IK points. But them legs....

Now I'm really confused. Why can't you use the LCVP animation again?

I think I'm mixing things up now
. I'll give him IK points, see if that helps anything.
/never mind, it's been a very long day
