I'm messing with different examples to learn flight aspects in DBP. I found an example in this forum and replaced the simple object with a model of a jet. Now it worked fine exempt one little problem...the Jet is flying backwards and i'm not sure how to get it turned around! I've tried to rotate object command but it messes with the one already in the script. I'm sure its the math somewhere, i need to rotate it 180 degrees so that it's flying forward, can anyone help? Here's the code..

Incase you were wondering why the problem occured, it was either because of the model being reversed in the modeler by accident, or the camera positioning code in the game was using a negative when a positive was needed or vise versa.

Models appeared correctly in the model program. No negatives were used i dont believe and the camera position was at it's default. Nevertheless, thanks for you help, i got it to working...i'm actually working on the skysphere and weapons now. I'll keep your tips in mind for future problems i'm sure i'll run in to...again, thanks ya'll.
