Ooops! If you have tried to take water on engines 452, 455 and 459 you will find that the water fill is in the cab instead of the tank. You can fix this yourself by opening the WAG file for the tenders and changing the Intake for water from 2.6 to minus 2.6 (-2.6) and that will fix it. Or you can copy the attached .wag files to their respective folders to repair the problem. Sorry for the error.

WATER ALERT! The consumption of water and fuel in MSTS and ORTS is woefully incorrect. These engines originally came with 41,000 lbs of water in the tender, which should be about right for 5,000 gallons of water. But the consumption is very low, allowing you to run the whole RGS without having to water up. We can't fix MSTS and ORTS, other experts will have to do that, but what has been done in the interim is to reduce the amount of water to 11,480 lbs so that you run out when you should in actual operation. You WILL have to take water to complete most runs with these engines. For example, on the Silverton Branch you will need to take water at Cascade Tank and Needleton Tank to complete a run to Silverton and you will have to take water at Needleton on your return. This is realistic water consumption for miles traveled. Have fun! And if you forget you can always Shift-T to instant fill but it's more fun to do it right. :bigboss:
