JSBSim Movement Component rotation issue in UE5

[ugenethehobo]

Hello,
I have my model set up correctly in UE5, and have a working JSBSim Movement component. However, the component is rotated 90 degrees and cannot be changed regardless of what I try. This is the same for every aircraft model I choose, so in effect, I fly sideways in game. Any help would be immensely helpful!

@gallonmate, any idea about what's going wrong here ?

@ugenethehobo You need to study the reference project and example blueprint. The sample airplane has a root component placed before the skeletal mesh. This allows for the skeletalmesh to be rotated 90 degrees in order to match JSBSim. You can add a scene component to be used as the root component.

The sample project refuses to open, and building in VS crashes on build. So this is perfect, thank you!
