Model Orientation Thread - Vector Thrust

How to properly align the model orientation? I have the model straightly aligned (even I used an imported F-15 from VT as reference) but it always end up rotated like this no matter what. Is it because that the model I've ripped was initially positioned in this way?

BTW, this model is reversed and rotated 90 degrees.

I assume you just rotate and then export.
I think the problem is that the exported model carries the original orientation.

I don't know how the blender works, but probably the most effect would be to create a cube in 0 0 0 after adjusting the orientation, then make the aircraft part of the cube, the delete the cube model, leaving only the aircraft.
I believe this should clean the registry of the model

Nah, I'm using 3DS Max 2009. Already rotated it in every way possible and always end up with same result.

update: Huh, turns out that I have to MANUALLY align/resize the model in Blender to get the proper result. So much for redundant work, but looks like there's no other way. (don't ask why it's untextured, I can't into texturing)

update2 : turns out I have to reset XForm first before exporting. That simple.
