[REQ] More crew-members in the Control-Room...

Hi,

I wanted to ask if any talented modder sees a chance to add additional crew-members to the interior of the submarine?

It would greatly increase immersion in my opinion, especially in the type XXI, IX and II, where we can really see that the back of the Control-Room is quite "empty". Of course, it would be very hard to do new animations, but I think you could populate the room quite nicely with only the stock-SH3-animations

Also, I think it would be great (and doable) to have a helmsman in the type XXI control-room, sitting on the steering seat...
The helmsman's position in the type XXI has an identical layout to the depth-control station (with the same steering-mechanism), so he could use the same animation as the guys at the depth-controls.
So, as these animations already exist, I think it could be quite doable for an experienced modder? (I'm not asking for the helmsman in other submarine-types, as the layout for the steering mechanism there is different, so you couldn't use stock animations...)

It would be great to get some positive replies, as I wished for this for quite some time while playing SH3... In SH4 there are more crew-members in the submarine, which looks great, but I miss the interactive crew from SH3 there, so I still keep playing SH3.

Also, the additional crew-members wouldn't have to be tied to the "Crew-management-roster, so you wouldn't have to change the crew-layout... They would be "only" eye-candy^^

All the best to you all
