...just out of curiousity...

who was this person?

immelman

Was he a former SimHQ member y'all played multiplayer games in?

Is there a funny story behind it?

p.s. I didn't join SimHQ until 2012.

I don't know everything but I'm pretty sure it refers to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Immelmann

Probably some sort of tongue in cheek humour due to his invention of the namesake turn.

EDIT: Sniped...

I thought it was a former SimHQ member.

Immelmann is basic knowledge for most flight simmers. He's right up there with Chuck Yeager and Von Richtofen.

Took a gander around the interwebs but that Immelman thread is dead Zed.
It was one of the best laughs on SimHQ ever.

Poor Tom Cofield.
I don't think he'll ever live that one down.

Don't worry Tom, you'll track down that dastardly cheater one day. smile

If anyone archives way-way back post this classic thread!

S!

I wonder if Yo-yo was also accused of being a cheater. The chili powder emoticon freaks me out a bit.

Yeah, it's from a YouTube video. I clearly remember seeing it, but I can't find it now.

I was referring to Yo-yo Noritake which I thought would get picked up on a flight sim board quite easily.
