[SOLVED] Vehicle spawning / view wrong direction

Hello, I'm fairly new to the UDK and have been working on a vehicle for a few days now to learn/get use to the UDK. I have the vehicle loaded into UDK and I have the coding done but when I go to play the level the vehicle spawns in the wrong direction and when I get into it the character is facing sideways to the front of the vehicle and so is the view. Now I'm not sure what is causing this and its driving me nuts trying to figure it out. I also made sure my model was aligned properly to the x axis in 3Ds Max when exporting. Here's some screen shots of what I'm talking about.

Vehicle is loaded in proper direction in editor:

When level is played vehicle is turned 90* to the right:

When I get into vehicle character is facing wrong direction and so is the view:

Btw you might recognize this model, I did not make it. Its from another game. Just using it for a quick model.

I solved my problem. You can delete this thread if you would like.

Figured out I needed to convert the transformation matrix from XSI to 3ds Max since I was importing a XSI model. I used the program Deep Exploration to do it. You need to flip the Y and Z axis.
