@kurgut has been working on an IVA mode for command chairs: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/221695-wip-aset-iva-for-the-external-command-seat/
However this is currently a hack: it clones the part and treats it just like a command pod.
I think it would be better if TTE could spawn the IVA for the chair (similar to how PCR does this - and it already uses the internal camera anyway!) and do whatever else needs to be done to RPM to make stuff interactable. Kurgut says that currently, if you give the chair an internal model and activate the overlay mode things mostly work except the props don't make sound and some things don't work because there is no IVA active kerbal. That might also require some code changes in RPM.
