I'm making a space map, and i want to rotate the Droid Starfighter 90 decrees so it look likes a Nantex-class territorial defense starfighter. How can i do this WITHOUT using XSI?

Offtopic: Is there maybe a Nantex msh allready? (sorry for question)

well you can go in ZE and rotate the spawn by using the keys z and x

Even if the fighter spawns sideways it'll still re-orient itself.

Rotating the spawn will probably rotate the vehicle, but it won't change how it operates ingame. I'm guessing unless you're good with hex editing, and/or really understand the msh format, you'll have to use XSI to alter it as you wish.

It also has to fly rotated.... Is it even possible?

It's definately possible, but it still requires going through XSI to get the orientation right. After that, perfecting the vehicle should be fairly straightforward.
