Another thing to check is the alignment between the 3d model and the FDM config - make sure that your main (3d) model XML file uses the same origin as the FDM config uses. If the 3d model itself uses a different origin you will have to apply offsets in the main 3d model XML file to bring it in line with the coordinate system of the FDM config. Note that shifting the main model origin will affect the locations of views and sounds too. For JSBSim FDM configs it is possible to move the FDM visual reference point, VRP, in the FDM config to match the origin of the main 3d model XML file instead, which will not affect the other coordinate systems used in FG.
