Hello,

I am trying to make a car game in Unreal Engine 5, and I am currently having trouble learning how to change the car meshes.

Right now, I am using the Unreal Engine 5 vehicle template, and I am trying to replace the default car mesh with vehicle meshes from sites like Sketchfab. The problem is that I am having trouble connecting the new meshes to the actual vehicle setup properly.

Whenever I try to replace the mesh, the tires seem to become offset. Sometimes they roll too far forward, and other times they roll too far backward. Even when I try to readjust the mesh to make everything proportional, it still does not work correctly.

Is there a good YouTube video, tutorial, or step by step explanation that shows how to properly connect a new car mesh to the Unreal Engine 5 vehicle template?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
