Howdy !

I don't quite understand what's wrong ? What is it exactly that you don't get, and what is that black & white pic you're referring to ?

Actually i don't see any b&w image being used but in the texturing work.
The lighting is explained well, along with a light, he uses self illuminated materials on his windows, with the Lighting Override Mat because he's using Radiosity, and without it the object lighting would not work.
Aren't you confusing the material preview that's shown for the Lighting Override with a b&w pic ?

srryy.. i get it.. was getting confused by all the settings but now it all makes sense :)

putting a lighting override image on your plane.. let it illuminate enough.. to resemble the strengtness of the shadows that will be created by the spotlight etc..

pff srry for posting :D
