If `PlayerStart` is rotated, `GoogleVRMotionController` component is not oriented accoring to player’s rotation.  
This is possibly related to issue UE-28914.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create character with `GoogleVRMotionController`.
2. Rotate `PlayerStart`.
3. Run project on **real device** (won’t reproduce in VR preview mode).

Results (looking down to show daydream controller mesh orientation):

`PlayerStart` is not rotated - daydream controller mesh is correctly positioned:

`PlayerStart`’s yaw is rotated by 180 degrees - daydream controller mesh is properly rotated while player faces (0,0,0) rotation. This makes controller unusable:

Please suggest workarounds. I’ve tried `SetControlRotation` of `PlayerController` but this doesn’t work.
