Some MSTS locomotives that run in Open Rails are faulty.

[thescreecher]

Hello guys, I want to talk about a problem in Open Rails that I am having. So basically, I have a long roster of MSTS trains but when I try to run some of them, a message says that the Tender water supply is empty and that the loco will eventually fail. This can literally stop the locomotive from running or make it faulty. When I also try to control the reverser when this error occurs, the reverser glitches. What is the problem behind this and how to fix it?

Hi, there. The problem lies there is because the tender is labelled "Freight" instead of "Tender". To rectify this, open the tender wag file with Notepad and change the parameter WagonType from "Freight" to "Tender" and problem solved.

Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Since you don't provide detailed information about your problem. As in listing the filename(s). I will provide a general answer: you need to edit the ENG file to correct your problem.

That has no bearing when it comes to sharing what the engine is that you're having trouble with, or how the eng and wag files are structured...

So, you know these MSTS packaged software, gets installed to the Trains folder and once installed into its proper file structure any ENG, and WAG file can be edited so it works with the newer Open Rails. So without more information, it is tough to help you, Just like both crstagg and eric are saying. We would like to help, but you need to help yourself first and give us enough info to help you with. Where did you download it, Who's content is it, what type of rolling stock is it, where did you install it to? etc. The more information we have the better we can help you cure your problem.
