Hello I'm trying to build a terminal building for an airport that I'm designing. but i cant figure out how to texture it. I tried and it came out all stretched and the same textures i wanted on the sides ended up on the roof. can some one help me?

You first need to apply the material to the building with the texture bmps entered into the diffuse and ambient slots for day and night.

Then you select each polygon you want to work with and must map it to a part of your texture sheet using UWV Mapping and UWV Unwrap dropdown selections.

It sounds like you need a quick introduction to texture mapping. There are a number of ways you can do this, my method is shown in this tutorial.

For FSX the night texture goes into the self-illumination slot, not into the ambient slot.

If you want to use two different textures, you will have to select the polygons you want to assign the texture to, before you apply it. Else it gets applied to the whole part.
