>Thanks Delamaize is right on those two... and if you'd read the tutorials that come with Canvas you woudn't need to ask any of these questions.Look in the Tutorials for microsoft Train Simulator the answer to your window texture question is in the Materials and Lighting Tutorial. The answer to your questions that Delamaize answered for you is in the 4 Wheel Wagon Building Tutorial which is free to download on the Amabilis web site.Anybody starting with Canvas for MSTS should work through that particular tutorial first!! It'll give you all the basic things you need to know.Best Regards,
