Filling a tender with water (Cab Forward on Donner Pass) failure.

[seagoon]

In the subject example, no matter what I do, I cannot recharge the tender with water.

The Activity requires the tender to be filled and, using the F5 display, I see that the tender has 880 gallons of water.
Following instructions, I back up to the watering point, hit and hold 'T' (as one does in MSTS) and a pop-up says that the tender is {0} distance from the water column.

Nothing, however, happens: the tender does not fill, irrespective of how finely I adjust it's location in relation to the column.

Hoping that someone can cast some light on this, please.

Hi Bruce,

Yeah - not sure all these filling issues have been worked out yet... I've had a problem after refilling a tender on Derek's articulated locomotives - filled up tender - and locomotive ran out of water a few minutes later even though tender showed 100%... One suggestion is they you have to stop and switch to the other half of the locomotive and fill that one too... Honestly - I haven't got back to troubleshooting that issue since...

If you go far away from the actual coal or water source - it should recognize you are not near it and automatically fill anyway... For those routes without steam facilities setup...

Regards,
Scott

Scott,
I might try starting the Activity in MSTS, saving it and then recommencing in OR.
It would be interesting to see if the tender is full.
(Joking, of course! )

Then again, perhaps it would be easier to open it in the Activity Editor and just fill the tender.

EDIT.
Yep....that works perfectly.
