3ds 2021 max texture distortion

anotherdoseofcorey

Hello,
 I'm in the process of educating myself in the texture workflow process in Max I was messing around with this Starwars Bike a friend had emailed me. The texture seems to not be applying itself properly I'm not certain what the issue is  I've tried a variety of things but I can't find a solution could I get some help properly texturing this object? 
I've taken a look at UV's and it looks like that the textures do not match up with the Bike when it is unwrapped. Is there any way to quickly adjust this? 
I've attached a mediafire link below 
Here is my issue: 

What it should look like:

The correct UVs for the textures are in UV channel 2

Can you share a screenshot of how you accessed channel 2.

Nothing changed did you abandon the textures from the previous layer what was your method exactly step by step.

A safe, and easy way is that you can set material to display on uv channel 2 in the material editor.

If you don't wanna do that:

• press 2, and then hit "ABANDON" to get to channel 2

then to get it to display:

• type 1 again and hit "MOVE" to bring 2 to 1 (this will destroy any data used in channel 1)

What exactly is your method to changing channels in the material editor. Are you plugging a UVW channel into the OSL bitmap? 

Also, the initial method of using UVW unwrap and swapping channels worked great although I ran into a problem with some other objects I had on hand. I used the method once again and was met with distortion this time around in the viewport it seems normal. But upon rendering the texture becomes a bit of a mess. I noticed that it has two sets of UVWs in the Unwrap modifier not certain as to what the issue is this time around. 

It should be noted the "E-5" I included in the scene seemed to texture properly by swapping the channel to 2. 
Problem:

Still having issues with weapons.

A bit of poking in the material settings around goes a long way, here it is at the very top:

That's an awesome fix but I was looking to learn how to utilize Arnold's shading network. In particular, the OSL's in order to texture my assets although I've found that Physical material tends to be the best shader as it is universal from Vray. Arnold and Corona.
