    Adding a simple node with a codename "driver" or "dr1" that buckles into all stock car's seats using beams, and depending on if its stock or race seats, will determine how well the seat holds the driver by varying spring stiffness to the seat.

    This will bring purpose to aftermarket seats, as the swaying around of a 180lb(adjustable) node in the driver's seat should cause imbalances in the car's weight. This will also make all cars more realistic because there is always a driver present when driving, where as our current cars are lightweight ghosts with no driver. I am going to publish an update for the Ibishu 300bx mod, which will include said node as a demonstration.

    Pretty sure the devs have said that they have plans for this, idk when it will be added, but it definitely will. Also it's actually amazing how advanced the weight swaying simulation is in the Pigeon and Wigeon, it even accounts for rapid stops to simulate seatbelts and the driver hitting the dash or doors, it's done using several different kinds of beams
