Thanks, Sandbagger. I figured it was something like that. 'Wonder why they didn't simply mount the tank higher behind the pilot and let gravity do the work?


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Hauksbee, that pump just pressurized the tank initially. Once the engine started the engine-driven air pump continuously pressurized the tank. On the model above, you can see it jutting up vertically behind the last cylinder. What a pilot of Mercedes-engine airplanes did have to do was turn the water pump greaser handle every ten minutes during a flight. You never see that modeled in flight sims.

Perhaps it will be when the final, comprehensive WOFF Gold is released. Having to grease the water pump handle every ten minutes would be the final masterstroke of immersion!
