Total Noob

All I wanted to do was import some 3-d spaceships and position them with a space-scape background image.

I cannot get the background to load no matter what I do. I watched videos, I read webpages, and I just can't do something so simple.

It used to be easier a long time ago, I remember using it before.

I guess there are two ways to do this.
1) Create a world texture from you image and use that as background.
2) Create a plane and add a texture with your image.

(I assume you know the basics on how to create textures)

cheers
