Hi,
Although the locomotive is set to switch on the train's electric power supply in the .eng file and the wagons have electric heating defined in the .wag files, it doesn't work.
After loading, the HUD shows the temperature set by the ORTSHeatingCompartmentTemperatureSet parameter in the vehicles. But it starts to gradually go down, even though the loco has the pantopgraphs up and all power on (including ALT + B).
Heating cars with a connected cable just doesn't work. The temperature slowly drops down.

Settings at the locomotive:

ORTSPowerSupply ( Default )
ORTSPowerOnDelay ( 5s )
ORTSAuxPowerOnDelay ( 10s )

ORTSBattery (
Mode ( Switch )
Delay ( 2s )
)

ORTSMasterKey (
Mode ( Manual )
DelayOff ( 2s )
)

ORTSElectricTrainSupply (
Mode ( Switch )
)


Settings for passenger carriages:

ORTSPowerSupply ( Default.cs )
ORTSPowerOnDelay ( 5s )
ORTSPowerSupplyContinuousPower ( 880W )
ORTSPowerSupplyHeatingPower ( 30kW )
ORTSPowerSupplyAirConditioningPower ( 0kW )
ORTSPowerSupplyAirConditioningYield ( 0 )
ORTSHeatingCompartmentTemperatureSet ( 24degC )

I would also like to point out that passenger cars set to steam heating do not have this problem.
Here the heating works regardless of whether it is a steam locomotive, a locomotive or a car with a steam heating boiler.
So it seems that Open Rails is misinterpreting or partially interpreting the passenger car power supply command set (Open Rails Manual 9.9.6 Passenger car power supply).
